"in china," said the moon who brings me nightly news "I chanced to gaze upon a girl with tiny shoes with pain in her sole she stirs her fishbowl her four fish, far from free are far more free than she." "in fez-land," said the moon "I guided a young man astride his great white steed beside a caravan through long nights he sighed and longed for his bride he loved, as he vowed but then...but then a cloud..." "in lisbon," said the moon "I kissed a blackamoor the slave of camá¶ens the lusiad's auteur the faithful slave's palms were held out for the alms to pay for food and rent there's now a monument."
