Love
Whiskered Furies! Boy-Stuft Blouses!
From Works and Life, ed. Forster, vol. VIII (1876)
Love
Whiskered Furies! boy-stuft blouses!
Fanning fires on peaceful houses!
What are all these oaths and yells
Belcht from thirty million hells?
Swagger, scream, and peste away!
Courage now, anon dismay!
Louis-Philip! rear your walls
Pound these madmen and their brawls.
Well you know the fiery rout,
And what rain can put it out.
