DAILIES, by JEAN PELLERIN Poet's Biography First Line: You're right; my mind should drink Last Line: The evening papers. Subject(s): Writing & Writers | ||||||||
You're right; my mind should drink Of higher levels, But I can only think Of ribald revels. Here in Paris, I want to write a romance With exotic candour, Of course; fair houris will dance On the verandah! I'll picture the water, the harbor, the sky, And the desert's vapors At the gray hour when they start to cry The evening papers. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE CELL, SELECTION by LYN HEJINIAN OXOTA: A SHORT RUSSIAN NOVEL: CHAPTER 126: THE DOUBTING MAN by LYN HEJINIAN WAKING THE MORNING DREAMLESS AFTER LONG SLEEP by JANE HIRSHFIELD COMPULSIVE QUALIFICATIONS by RICHARD HOWARD DEUTSCH DURCH FREUD by RANDALL JARRELL LET THEM ALONE by ROBINSON JEFFERS |
