Of hurly-burly innovation.”

than hear that plaining, piteous convict wail
about these beautiful dark eyebrowed women.
Its soldiers who sing these days. O Lord God.”

Homeward, and brings the sailor home from sea,
The typist home at teatime, clears her breakfast, lights
Her stove, and lays out food in tins.”
