Le Violon d'Ingres
Original Text
Jon Stallworthy, Body Language (Manchester: Carcanet, 2004): 38.
1Man Ray, inventive fellow,
2seeing the girl who art
3for him hipped like a cello,
4portrayed her as that.
5And did they then make music --
6as we would, I know,
7if you would be my cello
8and I could be your bow?
