Style And Complexion Of Homer



Most glorious sons and daughters,
readers of lots of books,
a style like Homer's
is florid or flowery in England,
fleuri in French
and blumig in Germany.

It's ornate, orné and überladen.
It's baroque, baroque and barock.

Most glorious sons and daughters,
readers of many a book,
the complexion of Homer
has a florid,
rougeaud, rötlich look.
