TWO WAYS OF NOT SEEING THE WORLD.

A young gentle man
Saw his mistress, the rainbows in a fountain,
The sublimity of the prospect of the mountains
Placed harps, urns, sprinxes, shrubs,
To adorn this sensibility,
Clipped a small passion to short tags,
with the inappropriate.

A young gentleman
Visits the urns, the sprinxes, under the mountain
Above the sea -
(Seven ways of looking at a piece of jade)
The cascade torn into rainbows,
The terrace reflecting turquoise,
Omits the mistress,
Adores
Only the sprinxes' frills and breasts;
Bores us with his cultivated reactions
To the amusing in art.
