An ugly little artist had ugly little dream
OF an ugly little world built on an ugly little
scheme:
He took up his little pencil and incontinenty tried
To make ugly little pictures Of that world so ugli-
fed.
He drew ugly little figures just like evil little lmps
With ugly little bodies OF the hue Of parboiled
shrimps,
with ugly little faces OF subterhuman sort,
Each a dark Gehenna phantom or unnatural Stygian
sport.
He limned ugly little mannikins as pale as tallow
And ugly unsexed women with protuberant under
With ugly scarlet tresses. with sable porter's-
And with noses like satyr's, and with eyes like
inky bots.
He daubed ugly little backgrounds. all as meaning
less mud
And ugly little all suggesting fire and blood:
And upy little arabesques which little seemed 70

Yet were commonly suggestive of the cruel and
unclean.

A night-jar calls across the lea;
And on the beach below the cliffs
Ripples the phosphorescent sea.

Voyaging beneath the noon;

Tune in whose few notes are set
Old desire and new regret.
Here are apples gold and red.
Meowed by the patient sun;
Round about and overhead
Light and shadow defty run;
Leaves make murmur, grass Is deep.

Happy boughs Of apple trees
Bending TO the apples weight!
Happy orchard secrecies.
