Juliet

Hilaire Belloc 1870 (La Celle-Saint-Cloud) – 1953



How did the party go in Portman Square?
     I cannot tell you; Juliet was not there.

     And how did Lady Gaster's party go?
     Juliet was next me and I do not know.

    This is about a man so engrossed with this woman, Juliet, that she is all he sees whether she is there or not.
