To Helen
After a certain period,
Regretful nights and lonely days,
I bought a woman made by God
From the models of Gaston Lachaise.
Danaë in her tower of brass
Was pitted by the golden rain;
About the middle of the Mass
The bishop's mitre writhed in pain.
An elephantress and a pard
Were wedded in a tropic stream.
The pachydermos panted hard,
The male brought forth a monstrous dream.
The golden Ind was not enough
For Alexander, so he wept
Ah, when will come my own true love,
The flame-encircled nympholept?
