Paris

PARIS

We adore her splendours;
But Paris displays these
Long aloof avenues, and arbours
Of precisely pruned trees;
Turns a disdainful look
At our presence,
Gives a Gallic shrug
At our absence:
See Paris and die -
Paris will not even sigh.

I so enjoyed the architecture of the city, I must say though I found the people unhelpful & unfriendly? Light & Love
