okay Bob a penn hardwood miles away from the Paris Metro.
is 'bough' brought on by 'crowd'.
bough is a bit Robert Bridges-ist.
taking another piece of minutiae at random:
"Alba" is precise if yeatsian with "pale wet leaves"

and as for‹ "L'Art, 1910
Green arsenic smeared on an egg-white cloth,
Crushed strawberries! Come let us feast our eyes."

the colour content glares, the apostrophe is not that delicate?
why have it egg-white it takes from "direct treatment of the thing"
the feast becomes a bit toxic: strawberries, egg-white and arsenic
perhaps Kenner's The Pound Era has the source of the piece? refresh my
memory?
Cheers Roberto Scheetz
