Melodrama: or the Duel in the Morning Dew

The lover of the lady-poet is disgruntled.
He is the cuckold of an intangible
Derision. What shall he do?

Here is evidence, obscene. The lover opens Stendhal,
Proust, Gide. He borrows all the distinguished homo-
        sexuals.

The lover of the lady poet is at peace.
