Wallace Stevens - The Plot Against The GiantFirst GirlWhen this yokel comes maundering,...

The Plot Against The GiantFirst GirlWhen this yokel comes maundering, Whetting his hacker,I shall run before him, Diffusing the civilest odorsOut of geraniums and unsmelled flowers. It will check him. Second GirlI shall run before him, Arching cloths besprinkled with colorsAs small as fish-eggs. The threadsWill abash him. Third GirlOh, la.. Le pauvre!I shall run before him, With a curious puffing. He will bend his ear then.I shall whisperHeavenly labials in a world of gutturals. It will undo him.
