Luini in porcelain! <br />The grand piano <br />Utters a profane <br />Protest with her clear soprano. <br /> <br />The sleek head emerges <br />From the gold-yellow frock <br />As Anadyomene in the opening <br />Pages of Reinach. <br /> <br />Honey-red, closing the face-oval, <br />A basket-work of braids which seem as if they were <br />Spun in King Minos' hall <br />From metal, or intractable amber; <br /> <br />The face-oval beneath the glaze, <br />Bright in its suave bounding-line, as, <br />Beneath half-watt rays, <br />The eyes turn topaz.<br /><br />Ezra Pound<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/medallion/
