    Coal-black maidens with pearls in their hair,
    Knee skirts trimmed with the jassamine sweet,
    And bells on their ankles and little black feet.

    Fat black bucks in a wine-barrel room,
    Barrel-house kings, with feet unstable,
    Sagged and reeled and pounded on the table,
    Pounded on the table,
    Beat an empty barrel with the handle of a broom,
    Hard as they were able,
    —Vachel Lindsay (1879–1931)

    Sleep softly . . . eagle forgotten . . . under the stone.
