Hart Crane Quote

Ah, madame! truly it's not right
When one isn't the real Gioconda,
To adapt her methods and deportment
For snaring the poor world in a blue funk.

'Locutions des Pierrots' (1933)

Ah, madame! truly it's not right When one isn't the real Gioconda, To adapt her methods and deportment For snaring the poor world in a blue funk.
