SAPPHO - - the magazine of verse EASTERN SKETCH On the purple lines of an Araby desert, Where Omar's fleeting snows have lain, A caravan wends to an Eastern mart With Death and Wild Beauty riding its chain. From a towering mosque in a Persian square, Bordered by poor rags, brocaded wealth, A Muezzin calls his people to prayer; "Allah il Allah! Think not of self." A rich Nabob on his palanquin Has passed this way, but the beggars grin; They shall eat, for did not Ahmed, the Thief Of the Fat One's finger, a ring relieve? Corinne Ellsworth 15
