The Blue Bath Tub

...I am distracted by one of the two objects in the room--a blue porcelain bathtub. It has character, this bathtub.  It is not one of the new racing bodies, but it is small with a high tonneau and looks as if it were going to jump; discouraged, however, by the shortness of its legs, it has been submitted to its environment and to its coat of sky-blue paint.

  1. That is a wicked bathtub, and a totally funny and beautiful passage. What a poet.
