WARING CUNEY

She does not know Her beauty, She thinks her brown body Has no glory.

If she could dance Naked, Under palm trees. And see her image in the river She would know. But there are no palm trees On the street, And dish water gives back no images.

No Images

by William Waring Cuney

She does not know her beauty, she thinks her brown body has no glory.

If she could dance naked under palm trees and see her image in the river, she would know.

But there are no palm trees on the street, and dish water gives back no images.

“No Images” - Waring Cuney

She does not know Her beauty, She thinks her brown body Has no glory.

If she could dance Naked, Under palm trees And see her image in the river She would know.

But there are no palm trees On the street, And dish water gives back no images.

Dishwater does give no image at all.

William Waring Cuney ( 1906 - 1976 ) - No Images.

No Images. She does not know her beauty, she thinks her brown body has no glory. If she could dance naked under palm trees and see her image in the river, she would know. But there are no palm trees on the street, and dish water gives back no images. From Storefront Church (London: Paul Breman Limited, 1973).

No Images

By Waring Cuney

She does not know

Her beauty,

She thinks her brown body

Has no glory.

If she could dance

Naked,

Under palm trees

And see her image in the river

She would know.

But there are no palm trees

On the street,

And dish water gives back no images.

Good noon! I just came back home and was graced with thise beautiful piece of poetry 😌💖 thank you <3

Some folks hollered hard times

in nineteen-twenty-nine.

In nineteen-twenty-eight

say I was way behind.

Some folks hollered hard times

because hard times were new.

Hard times is all I ever had,

why should I lie to you?

Some folks hollered hard times.

What is it all about?

Things were bad for me when

those hard times started out.

— William Waring Cuney, Nineteen-twenty-nine

FINIS Ora che il nostro amore si è trascinato Ad una riva di silenzio, Lasciandoci nell'infinita pena Che sempre segue quando la bellezza se ne va; Ora che tu ed io, Ritti in punta dei piedi sulla terra Toccavamo con le dita il cielo, Ci siamo allontanati Per lasciare il nostro breve amore morire, Vai, caro, a cercare ancora il magico tocco, Ma se sei saggio, Come io sarò saggia Non vorrai di nuovo Amare troppo.
