Not illustrated. 1873 Excerpt: ... with her glossy braids, And even voice, and gorgeous eyeballs, calm As her other jewels. If she''s somewhat cold, Who wonders, when her blood has stood so long In the ducal reservoir she calls her line By no means arrogantly? she''s not proud; Not prouder than the swan is of the lake He has always swum in;--''t is her element; And so she takes it with a natural grace, Ignoring tadpoles. She just knows perhaps There are who travel without outriders, Which is n''t her fault. Ah, to watch her face, When good Lord Howe expounds his theories Of social justice and equality! ''T is curious, what a tender, tolerant bend Her neck takes: for she loves him, likes his talk, ''Such clever talk--that dear, odd Algernon!'' She listens on, exactly as if he talked Some Scandinavian myth of Lemures, Too pretty to dispute, and too absurd. She''s gracious to me as her husband''s friend, And would be gracious, were I not a Leigh, Being used to smile just so, without her eyes, On Joseph Strangways, the Leeds mesmerist, And Delia Dobbs, the lecturer from '' the States'' Upon the '' Woman''s question.'' Then, for him, I like him; he''s my friend. And all the rooms Were full of crinkling silks that swept about The fine dust of most subtle courtesies. What then?--why then, we come home to be sad. How lovely, One I love not looked to-night! She''s very pretty, Lady Waldemar. Her maid must use both hands to twist that coil Of tresses, then be careful lest the rich Bronze rounds should slip:--she missed, though, a gray hair, A single one,--I saw it; otherwise The woman looked immortal. How they told, Those alabaster shoulders and bare breasts, On which the pearls, drowned out of sight in milk, Were lost, excepting for the ruby-clasp! They split the amaranth velvet-boddice down To the waist or nearly,...
