Wallace Stevens - Peter Parasol lyrics
[Wallace Stevens - Peter Parasol lyrics]
Aux taureaux Dieu cornes donne
Et sabots durs aux chevaux
Why are not women fair, all, as Andromache
Having, each one, most praisable
Ears, eyes, soul, skin, hair?
Good God! That all beasts should have
The tusks of the elephant, or be beautiful
As large, ferocious tigers are
It is not so with women
I wish they were all fair
And walked in fine clothes
With parasols, in the afternoon air
Et sabots durs aux chevaux
Why are not women fair, all, as Andromache
Having, each one, most praisable
Ears, eyes, soul, skin, hair?
Good God! That all beasts should have
The tusks of the elephant, or be beautiful
As large, ferocious tigers are
It is not so with women
I wish they were all fair
And walked in fine clothes
With parasols, in the afternoon air
