PRAISE OF FAMOUS MEN: 10. WALTER DE LA MARE by HUMBERT WOLFE

First Line: LAST, WHERE SONG ITSELF IS VULGAR, / BEAUTY, THERE WILL SWING
Last Line: PALE MUSICIAN.
Subject(s): DE LA MARE, WALTER (1873-1956);
LAST, where song itself is vulgar,
beauty, there will swing
past the smallest Mullar-Mulgar,
from a muted string

echoes that, though they enchain the
restless heart of man,
fade, and tremble, and regain the
pale musician.
