She winks a feeble eye, She smooths the hair of the grass. A washed-out smallpox cracks her face, That smells of dust and old Cologne, That cross and cross across her brain. Of sunless dry geraniums Smells of chestnuts in the streets And cigarettes in corridors "Four o'clock, Memory! The little lamp spreads a ring on the stair, The bed is open; the tooth-brush hangs on the wall, And along the trampled edges of the street Sprouting despondently at area gates. Twisted faces from the bottom of the street, An aimless smile that hovers in the air Sway in the wind like a field of ripe corn. Wakening the appetites of life in some I mount the steps and ring the bell, turning If the street were time and he at the end of the street, And lived in a small house near a fashionable square Now when she died there was silence in heaven The shutters were drawn and the undertaker wiped his feet-- The dogs were handsomely provided for, The Dresden clock continued ticking on the mantelpiece, Holding the second housemaid on his knees-- Rode across the hills and broke them-- Riding to hounds And danced all the modern dances; But they knew that it was modern. .
