Explore "Cousin Nancy" by T.S. Eliot on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Miss Nancy Ellicott / Strode across the hills and broke them, / Rode across the hills and broke them --
The barren New England hills --
Riding to hounds / Over the cow-pasture.
Miss Nancy Ellicott smoked / And danced all the modern dances; / And her aunts were not quite sure how they felt about it, / But they knew that it was modern.
Upon the glazen shelves kept watch / Matthew and Waldo, guardians of the faith, / The army of unalterable law.
