By the open loggia door

By the open loggia door

they have porticos, piazza, loggia,

The Former Tennent
...It abides in the lintel, leaving only
to hunt in the klong.

Noi Siamo I Barbari
...If you've ever seen Ca' Rezzonico
seeming quite to float
upon the Grand Canal
as you bob in a boat,

Let Me Take You By the Hand

to St.Albans Abbey.
At the far end of the lantern- lit cobbled alley.

Everyone looks at you ...
