# The Little Party

My friend Jean
gave me an Easter-Tree.

Mon respectable ami George Auric
Crawled into my room like a bear.

Jean the Bird-Catcher
is an Egyptian cat.

George Auric

L'ami le plus respecté qui existe
Is a great, fat, white, lad Bouddha.

The lad Bouddha
and the Egyptian Cat
sit under the Easter-Tree
with the fishes
(Out of Egypt, out of India, out of the sea.)
eating tarts

In the warmth of the tenderest wishes hatching the
eggs of their arts
With their little friend

Mary.
