He described the title garment of one poem as "Delicate as the wing of a bee / Cool as the heart of a tea-rose". One poem by him mentions "pale globes of snow" that are the breasts of the swan-women of the Rhine. This author of "Chinoiserie" and "To a Pink Dress" described "acrid Venus" rising naked and provocatively out of a "bitter gulf" in a poem about a gypsy woman named Carmen.
