Louis MacNeice Quotes

Let The Old Muse Loosen Her Stays
Or Give Me A New Muse With Stockings And Suspenders
And A Smile Like A Cat,
With False Eyelashes And Finger-nails Of Carmine
And Dressed By Schiaparelli, With A Pill-box Hat.
...
Give Me A Houri But Houris Are Too Easy,
Give Me A Nun;
We'll Rape The Angels Off The Golden Reredos
Before We're Done.
