"No water so still as the br dead fountains of Versailles." No swan, br with swart blind look askance br and gondoliering legs, so fine br as the chinz china one with fawn- br brown eyes and toothed gold br collar on to show whose bird it was. br br Lodged in the Louis Fifteenth br candelabrum-tree of cockscomb- br tinted buttons, dahlias, br sea-urchins, and everlastings, br it perches on the branching foam br of polished sculptured br flowers--at ease and tall. The king is dead.
