The Garden En robe de parade. - SamainLike a skein of loose silk blown against a wall She walks by the railing of a path in Kensington Gardens, And she is dying piece-mealof a sort of emotional anaemia. And round about there is a rabble Of the filthy, sturdy, unkillable infants of the very poor. They shall inherit the earth. In her is the end of breeding. Her boredom is exquisite and excessive. She would like some one to speak to her, And is almost afraid that I will commit that indiscretion. . Ezra Pound
About This Quote

A woman in a frock is a picture of perfection. The clothes she wears are designed to accentuate her figure, which is perfect for this time in history. However, when the clothes she wears are loose around her body, something that would be considered inappropriate in Victorian times, then she becomes much more attractive. The idea behind the quote is that there is no point in trying to hide your true feelings when everyone can see what you are wearing. It also shows that nothing good in life will last forever, so it is important to enjoy it while you can.
