Living

The Re-echo Club: as by William Wordsworth (Cubist Nude)

by Carolyn Wells 1862–1942

From The Re-echo Club

Living

She trod among the untrodden maze
Of Cubists on a spree;
A Nude whom there were none to praise,
And very few could see.

A violet 'neath a mossy stone,
Quite hidden from the eye,
Is far more easy to discern
Than that same Nude to spy.

She lived unseen. Though some few fakes
Pretended her to see;
But if she's on the stairs, it makes
No difference to me.
