I appreciate Rhina's quotation of Elinor Wylie's poem, which is one of my favorites. In fact, if I ever assemble enough poems for another book, I plan to call it "Little Nourishment". (I live by squeezing from a stone/The little nourishment I get) - how true!
Deborah, I'm not sure what you mean about the silk stockings. The only thing I can ever remember writing about stockings was a steal from Herrick:
Whenas in silks my Julia goes
They cling unto her pantyhose.
