Milo: Third-year girls?

Milo: Why?
Jerry: They’re officious and dull. They’re always making profound observations they’ve overheard.”

are cold,
for a flower has grown,
murex-red
on the red gown.”

Remembering what she had,
What eagle look still shows,
While up from my heart’s root
So great a sweetness flows
I shake from head to foot.”
