Explore "Shop" by Robert Browning on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
So, friend, your shop was all your house! / Its front, astonishing the street, / Invited view from man and mouse / To what diversity of treat / Behind its glass -- the single sheet!
What gimcracks, genuine Japanese: / Gape-jaw and goggle-eye, the frog; / Dragons, owls, monkeys, beetles, geese; / Some crush-nosed human-hearted dog: / Queer names, too, such a catalogue!
