Princess Elizabeth of Bohemia, as Perdita
The delicate girl was eager to air
her virgin flower-de-luce held tight held
high in her fist as a poodle's nose, rare
as a garnished mushroom on a jewelled
Stuart's table. The startling innocence
of her eyes made the sky a rumpled bed,
her white skin was refined as th' excremence
of that delicious bird: the dove. Like Ed
walks o'er fresh field in Scottish tweed, her stroll
widened the sense of heather. Negligence
too, was her tour de force. A barcarolle
restored to each heart her adolescence:
caught in her eyes the late years wept, seeing
th' impossibility of her being.
– Frank O'Hara (killed by a car at age 40 in 1966)
