DEMETER AT THE CHINESE OPERA So, I invited you to the Chinese Opera impulsively Thinking of masks and dragons and triumphant mystery I though it was time we threw off our coats Of mourning, you for your daughter Stopping one night, on the way home from a party, So randomly, cruelly, killed by the monster Who has slain more than all...
