KENNETH REXROTH
(before reading his poetry):

“Well, what would you like tonight,
sex, mysticism or revolution?”

WOMAN IN AUDIENCE:

“What’s the difference?”

A Coat

I made my song a coat
Covered with embroideries
Out of old mythologies
From heel to throat;
But the fools caught it,
Wore it in the world’s eyes
As though they’d wrought it.
Song, let them take it,
For there’s more enterprise
In walking naked.


--William Butler Yeats
