Explore "Æsthetic" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
In a garb that was guiltless of colours / She stood, with a dull, listless air- / A creature of dumps and of dolours, / But most undeniably fair.
The folds of her garment fell round her, / Revealing the curve of each limb; / Well proportioned and graceful I found her, / Although quite alarmingly slim.
