Dressmaker
" Yes, plain things do last longer —
Straight lines always look stylish, somehow. "
She knelt at my feet, hanging a skirt,
Her mouth full of pins.
Her tired face caught a faint light
As she groped for the More behind her words:
A Thought had touched her soul;
She was a timid, rustic priestess
Of Art.
And I, who had gone in drooping,
Came out with a high head:
" Aha! " I said to the housetops,
" Plain things do last longer —
Straight lines will always be stylish as trees. "
