Query: PF's pirouetting nymph?
From
Date
Body
Can some one in my aged age group (or older) identify the toiletry in this description in a TV commercial circa the early fifties? The winner will be immortalized in a footnote. Don Johnson
Line 412ff The Cause of Poetry on Channel 8.
A nymph came pirouetting, under white
Rotating petals, in a vernal rite
To kneel before an altar in a wood
Where various articles of toilet stood.
