Portrait Of A Barmaid
Metallic waves of people jar
Through crackling green toward the bar

Where on the tables chattering-white
The sharp drinks quarrel with the light.

Those coloured muslin blinds the smiles,
Shroud wooden faces in their wiles —

Sometimes they splash like water (you
Yourself reflected in their hue).

The conversation loud and bright
Seems spinal bars of shunting light

In firework-spurting greenery.
O complicate machinery

For building Babel, iron crane
Beneath your hair, that blue-ribbed mane

In noise and murder like the sea
Without its mutability!

Outside the bar where jangling heat
Seems out of tune and off the beat —

A concertina's glycerine
Exudes, and mirrors in the green

Your soul: pure glucose edged with hints
Of tentative and half-soiled tints.
"Janet" Taylor Caldwell (1900-.Aug 30,1985), Anglo-American novelist

Primary Colors begins: "He was a big fellow, looking seriously pale on the streets of Harlem in deep summer. I am small and not so dark, not very threatening to Caucasians; I do not strut my stuff. We shook hands. My inability to recall that particular moment more precisely is disappointing: the handshake is the threshold act, the beginning of politics. I've seen him do it 2 million times now, but I couldn't tell you how he does it, the right-handed part of it— the strength, quality, duration of it, the rudiments of pressing the flesh. I can, however, tell you a whole lot about what he does with his other hand. He is a genius with it. He might put it on your elbow, or up by your biceps: these are basic, reflexive moves. He is interested in you. He is honored to meet you. If he gets any higher up your shoulder — if he, say, drapes his left arm over your back, it is somehow less intimate, more casual. He'll share a laugh or a secret then — a light secret, not a real one — flattering you with the illusion of conspiracy. If he doesn't know you all that well and you've just told him something 'important,' something earnest or emotional, he will lock in and honor you with a two-hander, his left hand overwhelming your wrist and forearm. He'll flash that famous misty look of his. And he will mean it." (less)Elia Kazan (1909– 09/28/2003) American stage and film director

III. Marsh Song — At Sunset.
Over the monstrous shambling sea,
Over the Caliban sea,
Bright Ariel-cloud, thou lingerest:
Oh wait, oh wait, in the warm red West, —
Thy Prospero I'll be.
Over the humped and fishy sea,
Over the Caliban sea
O cloud in the West, like a thought in the heart
Of pardon, loose thy wing, and start,
And do a grace for me.
Over the huge and huddling sea,
Over the Caliban sea,
Bring hither my brother Antonio, — Man, —
My injurer: night breaks the ban;
Brother, I pardon thee.

Bonus Poem:
Concord By The Merrimack

Serene amid the meadows

Her seasons come and go;
To north her glorious mountains^

Her ocean tides below.
No Capital she envies

Its peak or plain or river —
Fair Concord by the Merrimack,

Whose fame is ours forever!

New Hampshire's treasured story

She guards within a shrine
As rare as Rome or Athens built

To those they held divine;
For her sons come back to crown
her —

Their ties they cannot sever —
Fair Concord by the Merrimack

Whose fame is ours forever 1
[so]

Still may the years bring wisdom

And honor to her halls ;
Still her proud sons be eager

To serve when valor calls.
And see their Capital for aye

Of light and joy the giver —
Fair Concord by the Merrimack

Whose fame is ours forever 1

- Edna Dean Proctor
