Let us then be up and pounding
Piffle of the kind that flaunts
Its inanity astounding!
“Give the public what it wants!”

THE CLASSIC DANCE
Isadora, when you dance
I am bounden by no thrall,
And the Rhythm of old Romance
Surges o’er me not at all.

Critics with a keener eye,
Judges with a broader view,
Tell me that your Art is high—
Wonderful the things you do.

Banal I and low my brow,
And my bean is built of bone,
For allegiance I vow
To Montgomery and Stone.

For allegiance I vow
To Montgomery and Stone.
KITTY GORDON
“It is not beauty I demand,
A crystal brow, the moon’s despair,
Nor the snow’s daughter, a white hand,
Nor mermaid’s yellow pride of hair.”
These lyric lines are not my own;
They’re by an elder bard, unknown.
