• White as a winding sheet,
  Masks blowing down the street:
  Moscow, Paris London, Vienna - all are undone.
  The drums of death are mumbling, rumbling, and tumbling,
  Mumbling, rumbling, and tumbling,
  The world's floors are quaking, crumbling and breaking.

  Edith Sitwell

  Paris, White, Vienna
