Excerpt from book: Portrait of a Lady Thou hast committed — Fornication: but that was in another country, And besides, the wench is dead. The Jew Of Malta. Among the smoke and fog of a December afternoon You have the scene arrange itself as it will seem to do — With " I have saved this afternoon for you "; And four wax candles in the darkened room, Four rings of light upon the ceiling overhead, An atmosphere of Juliet's tomb Prepared for all the things to be said, or left unsaid. We have been, let us say, to hear the latest Pole Transmit the Preludes, through his hair and finger-tips.

Reader Reviews for Poems: Customer Rating: Summary: confused Comment: I am only able to read the titles on this download. My kindle is new. Can anyone tell me how I'm meant to read the actual poems?
