Look! There, about two thirds of the way up
On the right side of the painting! That
Is no fairy but an angel who, on her way,
To yet another Annunciation has strayed
Into Henry Fuseli's Titania Caressing Bottom
The real fairies look anywhere but at her;
Only Bottom, who has his ass' head
Atop a body by Michelangelo, glances at her
From the corner of his eye. She plays a lute
And whispers her news of great joy
Into his hairy and astonished ear.
