Wallace Stevens - Exposition of the Contents of a Cab lyrics
[Wallace Stevens - Exposition of the Contents of a Cab lyrics]
Victoria Clementina, negress
Took seven white dogs to ride in a cab
Bells of the dog chinked
Harness of the horses shuffled
Like brazen shells
Oh-hé-hé! Fragrant puppets
By the green lake pallors, she too is flesh
And a breech-cloth might wear
Netted of topaz and ruby and savage blooms
Thridding the squawkiest jungle
In a golden sedan, white dogs at bay
What breech-cloth might you wear
Except linen, embroidered by elderly women?
Took seven white dogs to ride in a cab
Bells of the dog chinked
Harness of the horses shuffled
Like brazen shells
Oh-hé-hé! Fragrant puppets
By the green lake pallors, she too is flesh
And a breech-cloth might wear
Netted of topaz and ruby and savage blooms
Thridding the squawkiest jungle
In a golden sedan, white dogs at bay
What breech-cloth might you wear
Except linen, embroidered by elderly women?
