39 CONVENTIONS STAY, little slant-eyed mother in Cathay, Cut off the swathes and free your baby s feet, * You Flat-head squaw, take off the bandages From your papoose and press the skull in shape; And O proud heir of all the ages wrong, Dare you distort the plastic lovely form God trusts to you to rear to woman s grace?
Ah tis the mindless master of the masque, Stale custom, lording over us its law, Who pours our souls like molten brass in moulds And turns us out distorted images; It is the Gor
...gon s head that petrifies; Like Lot s forsaken wife we turn to salt.
Must we take consul of the low-browed ape And heedless mimic what the courts of style Decree, contemptuous of beauty s right? Dame Fashion folds her paper, takes her shears And cuts out strings of dolls in mocking scorn. We are the dolls she gives her laughing child, The World, to play with while it pleases her, Then crumples us and throws us in the fire. 40 Conventions Come, let us flout the autocrat inane, Parley no more with freakish vanities, No longer wear the badge of servitude But find our sanction in the inner light; For beauty out of nature s heart is born And grows in freedom unto fruitfulness.
