NEW POETRY
Seven Sea Haiku by Joshua Alan Sturgill
The Shirt: The men who wore the lace ruffles and the grave wigs and the bloom-coloured silks and satins had got so tired of wig and lace and silk that they were ready to believe that happiness was to be found by getting rid of all those things and of all the institutions symbolised by them. That was Rousseau’s doctrine of the bliss of savagery, that was the French Revolution in a nutshell.
