6075. FOR FRAGONARD AND FOR JOHN DUNNE

FOR FRAGONARD AND 
FOR JOHN DUNNE
All these prettified things  -  lovely to see and the
touch, outlawed. Look with thine eyes, sweet thing,
and only that. We are somehow part of an obscure
caravan  :  gypsies and minstrels, dark-eyed girls
dancing in the grass. Oh Mr. Painter, don't forget
about me; I bend and I swagger, for all to see.
-
And then the bell tolls, the bell tolls for me.
