Line 57:  The phantom of my little daughter’s swing

 

After this Shade crossed out lightly the following lines in the draft:

 

                The light is good; the reading lamps, long-necked;

All doors have keys.  Your modern architect

Is in collusion with psychanalysts:

When planning parent’s bedrooms, he insists

On lockless doors so that, when looking back,

The future patient of the future quack

May find, all set for him, the Primal Scene.
