“ I have wished that each building around us
Was a cedar, a poplar, a pine;
That the men and the women were statues,
And the rain that was falling was wine;
That the lights were ethereal flowers;
That the cars were the nooks in the wood,– *** "O, enough!" she exclaimed as she kissed me,
"This attic and couch are as good." ”
