Venus Anadyomene

Out of what seems a coffin made of tinA head protrudes; a woman's, dark with grease -Out of a bathtub! - slowly; then a fat

With ill-concealed defects upon the skin.

Then streaked and grey, a neck; a shoulder-blade,

A back - irregular, with indentations - Then round loins emerge, and slowly rise;

The fat beneath the skin seems made of lead;

Clara Venus ;- Et tout ce corps remue et tend sa large

Belle hideusement d'un ulcère à l'anus.
