Poem by Elinor Wylie

The Pekingese

    For a picture

This Pekingese, that makes the sand-grains spin,
Is digging little tunnels to Pekin:
Dream him emerging in a porcelain cave
Where wounded dragons stain a pearly wave. 

1. Upon Your Heart, Which Is.the Heart of All
2. The Little Beauty That I Was Allowed
3. In Our Content, before the Autumn Came
4. The Broken Man
5. What Other Name Had Half Expressed the Whole
