Читать книгу Phases - Mischa Willett - Страница 12

Though I’ve been to Penshurst,

and Versailles, the house Shakespeare

was supposedly born in (or was it

his wife?) this is my favorite—

apart from the cats, I mean—

I’d get rid of those, and most of

the owners’ things, P.G. Wodehouse

collection notwithstanding. They’re vacationing

in Paris, and while I house sit,

imagining the dinners and dances

(dances!) I’d host if this little palace

were mine, they’re having a painter

do the ceiling of the nursery with Greek

constellations in blue and gold.

How are Greek constellations different

than anyone else’s you ask?

That’s easy.

They have gods in them.
