 18 X.

ENEATH the sagging roof The stylist has taken shelter, Unpaid, uncelebrated, At last from the world's welter

Nature receives him, With a placid and uneducated mistress He exercises his talents And the soil meets his distress.

The haven from sophistications and contentions Leaks through its thatch; He offers succulent cooking; The door has a creaking latch.
