Minoan Porcelain

________________________________________________
Title:     Minoan Porcelain
Author: Aldous Huxley [More Titles by Huxley]

Her eyes of bright unwinking glaze
All imperturbable do not
Even make pretences to regard
The justing absence of her stays,
Where many a Tyrian gallipot
Excites desire with spilth of nard.
The bistred rims above the fard
Of cheeks as red as bergamot
Attest that no shamefaced delays
Will clog fulfilment, nor retard
Full payment of the Cyprian's praise
Down to the last remorseful jot.
Hail priestess of we know not what
Strange cult of Mycenean days!

[The end]
Aldous Huxley's poem: Minoan Porcelain
