Chaste and more graceful
Than the white canvassed Dhow:
Reclines sweet Nefertiti 
Upon a Blue Nile breeze.
Fabled entity more whiter
Than the purest white snow
That thickly blankets

the pica scurrying across the...

From fountains of youth by the river shore

Exquisite blue anemone
Blooms of every shade...
