virgil thomson - english usage lyrics

Loading...

make a fuss
and be tedious

i’m annoyed?
yes; am. i avoid

“adore”
and “bore”;

am, i
say, by

the word
(bore) bored

i refuse
to use

“divine”
to mean

something
pleasing:

“terrific color”
for some horror
though flat
myself, i’d say that

“atlas”
(pressed glass)

looks best
embossed

i refuse
to use

“enchant”
“dement”;

even “fright+
ful plight”
(however justified)

or “frivol+
ous fool”
(however suitable)

i’ve escaped?
am still trapped
by these
word diseases

no pauses
the phrases

lack lyric
force;
sound capr+ck+like

attic afric
alcaic

or freak
calico greek

(not verse
of course)

i’m sure of this:

nothing mundane is divine;
nothing divine is mundane
