Aubrey Vincent Beardsley (Обри Винсент Бёрдсли)

The Ivory Piece

Carelessly coiffed, with sash half slipping down
Cravat mis-tied, and tassels left to stream,
I walked haphazard through the early town,
Teased with the memory of a charming dream.

I recollected a great room. The day,
Half dead, lit faintly on the walls the pale
And sudden eyes that showed the formal play
Of woven actors in some curious tale.

In fabulous gardens, where romantic trees
Perched on the branches birds without a name.

1. A Ride in a Omnibus
2. The Three Musicians
3. The Valiant
4. Lines Written in Uncertainty
5. The Ballad of a Barber
