It's an odd feeling, reading Countee Cullen so skilfully adapt the language, rhythm and theme of AE Housman in such a different context.
One of the best presented poetry ebooks on Gutenberg, incidentally.

Here we have Adam & Eve (no fig leaves here) formed by God's shaping hand. See the delicacy of the thumbnails, and the way Adam's foot overlaps the ledge. 2/17
