SEVEN BEAUTIES
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act
George Orwell
Beauty is truth, truth beauty.
John Keats
A thing of beauty every day of the week, around lunchtime
Disillusionment of Ten O’Clock
The houses are haunted
By white night-gowns.
None are green,
Or purple with green rings,
Or green with yellow rings,
Or yellow with blue rings.
None of them are strange,
With socks of lace
And beaded ceintures.
People are not going
To dream of baboons and periwinkles.
Only, here and there, an old sailor,
Drunk and asleep in his boots,
Catches tigers
In red weather.
Wallace Stevens
