Explore "Miss Marie Corelli" by Harry Graham on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
A very Woman among Men! / Her paeans, sung in ev'ry quarter, / Almost persuade Le Gallienne / To go and get his hair cut shorter; / When Kipling hears her trumpet-note / He longs to don a petticoat.
Her praise is sung by old or young, / From Happy Hampstead to Hoboken, / Where'er old England's mother-tongue / Is (ungrammatically) spoken: / In that supremely simple set / Which loves the penny novelette.
