Daisy and Lily,
Lazy and Silly,
Walk by the shore of the wan grassy sea, –
Talking once more ’neath a swan-bosomed tree.
Rose castles,
Tourelles,
Those bustles
Where swells
Each foam-bell of ermine,
They roam and determine
What fashions have been and what fashions will be
— Edith Sitwell, from ‘Waltz’
