Love’s the boy stood on the burning deck
trying to recite `The boy stood on
the burning deck.’ Love’s the son
stood stammering elocution
while the poor ship in flames went down.
Love’s the obstinate boy, the ship,
even the swimming sailors, who
would like a schoolroom platform, too,
or an excuse to stay
on deck. And love’s the burning boy.

“Hartley particularly favored this model, a French-Canadian light heavyweight boxer. He explained, ‘I have for the first time since 1922 a real live model a magnificent young feller … His body is so fine and dear I could work almost without end from him.’”
