richard burton - in the study lyrics
he enters, and mute on the edge of a chair
sits a thin+faced lady, a stranger there
a type of decayed gentility;
and by some small signs he well can guess
that she comes to him almost breakfastless
“i have called — i hope i do not err —
i am looking for a purchaser
of some score volumes of the works
of eminent divines i own, —
left by my father — though it irks
my patience to offer them.” and she smilеs
as if necessity werе unknown;
“but the truth of it is that oftenwhiles
i have wished, as i am fond of art
to make my rooms a little smart
and these old books are so in the way.”
and lightly still she laughs to him
as if to sell were a mere gay whim
and that, to be frank, life were indeed
to her not vinegar and gall
but fresh and honey+like; and need
no household skeleton at all
