Pure Dawn Powell: THE WICKED PAVILION

_____________________________________________________________________________________
































She said this as if the Baron was a wool hat she'd given away
not knowing a blizzard was coming.

Bostonians rattled their family skeletons at each other
as proudly as Texans flashed their jumbo diamonds.
She concluded that Elsie's whimsicalities 
were proof that the Hookleys 
were gloriously rich.

    But this book was written yesterday, wasn't it?
    Or so the opening burst of despair would indicate.
