One more by-- not by
Henry Reed this one

00:00:03.750 --> 00:00:06.480 align:middle line:84%
is by William Carlos
Williams another one

00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:09.960 align:middle line:84%
that you may be familiar
with called "The Dance."

00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:13.200 align:middle line:84%
And it's an unusual
kind of poem, that's

00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:16.440 align:middle line:90%
why I've decided to read it.

00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:19.740 align:middle line:84%
"In Brueghel's great
picture, The Kermess,

00:00:19.740 --> 00:00:25.170 align:middle line:84%
the dancers go round, they go
round and around, the squeal

00:00:25.170 --> 00:00:30.060 align:middle line:84%
and the blare and the tweedle
of bagpipes, a bugle and fiddles

00:00:30.060 --> 00:00:34.200 align:middle line:84%
tipping their bellies round
as the thick-sided glasses

00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:37.890 align:middle line:84%
whose washed they impound
their hips in their bellies

00:00:37.890 --> 00:00:39.870 align:middle line:90%
off balance to turn them.

00:00:39.870 --> 00:00:43.320 align:middle line:84%
Kicking and rolling
about the fair grounds,

00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:46.680 align:middle line:84%
swinging their
butts, those shanks

00:00:46.680 --> 00:00:49.980 align:middle line:84%
must be sound to bear
up under such rollicking

00:00:49.980 --> 00:00:53.280 align:middle line:84%
measures, prances they
dance in Brueghel's

00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:56.180 align:middle line:90%
great picture, The Kermess."
