    The party on the lawn that yawned away from the large mock-Tudor house was a riot of summer dresses and bright laughter. Ardent young men flirted madly with the flushed nubile girls who paraded their charms in coy competition, the muted strains of a Lionel Ritchie ballad joined the descant with the clink of champagne glasses and behind a thicket a cat was sick.

    April is the cruelest month, breeding
    Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
    Memory and desire, stirring
    Dull roots with spring rain.
