“Free Verse, why I wrote free verse twenty
years ago”—?
Yet while Eilsheniius exonerates himself from
ever having studied the works of any period
whatsoever, there is a something Elizabethian
about him.
I will end this rummage of a gold-mine with
Eilsheniius when he is most himself—in the
the poems “A Country Child” and “Maggie the
Geyser Guide.”
“It dwelled, where I would not to live;
In a hut, with cracks and holes.
But there it played with wicker and mud;
And it tried to lift long poles.”
“Have you no fear of all those boiling waters?”
“Nay, 1 was ‘hatched’ right on this steaming
earth.
The other place cannot be worse!” she ventured,
And in our eyes a twinkle suddenly had birth.
Thus questioning, she grew more sweet to me,
for in her voice
Lay mellow dreaminess, that made my heart
rejoice.
Anyhow, Duchamp meditating the levelling of
all values, witnesses the elimination of Sophis
tication. MINA LOY.
