At a first glance
Over a heavy-well padded overcoat
fail and unprotected
his body that of a chicken emerging
from the egg
Sorry fragility of unhardened bones.
...
At a second glance
Be the overcoat exceedingly good
Exquisite the garments
Covering that body
Lines of the dark suit followed frankly
The shape within
Apologizing for nothing
The concavity of narrow chest
Slid down the long thin neck
The sharp slope of shoulder.
...
A great forehead
Dominated
Wedge shaped face descended
Broad temples to small pointed chin
Hair, black,
Lacquered equal halves, a thin white line
The skull tight and trim
Emphasis on ears
Flaired in solitary nakedness
Nose, long and thin,
A dab of black mustache.
...
Eyes dark and startling
Held intellect
And twinkling gaiety
Glasses worn
Not to protect his eyes
But other men,
From excessive brilliance.
