Excerpt from The Night Court, and Other Verse "Call Rose Costara!" Insolent she comes. The watchers, practised, keen, turn down their thumbs.The walk, the talk, the face - that seashell tint, -It is old stuff; they read her like coarse print.Here is no hapless innocence waylaid.This is a stolid worker at her trade.Listening, she yawns, half smiling, undismayed, Shrugging a little at the law's delay, Bored and impatient to be on her way.It is her eighth conviction. Out beyond the railA lady novelist in search of types turns pale.She meant to write of them just as she found them, And with no tears or maudlin glamour round them, In forceful, virile words, harsh, true words, without shame, Calling an ugly thing, boldly, an ugly name;Sympathy, velvet glove, on purpose, iron hand.But eighth conviction! All the phrases she had plannedFail; "sullen," "vengeful," no, she is n't that.No, the pink face beneath the hectic hatGives back her own aghast and sickened stareWith a detached and rather cheerful air, And then the little novelist sees red.From her chaste heart all clemency is fled."Oh, loathsome! venomous!
