poliphilo | Just To Demonstrate That I Really Do Love John Wayne

THE DUKE

Boule de Suif, the comfy whore

Whose loving nature is used and spat on

By upright crooks: It bears re-telling.

As, for example, in John Ford's Stagecoach

Where from the burning, blowing desert

Ambles at last the one true man

Who knows the loving heart when he meets it

And values nothing else.

Say, Pilgrim,

Now that you've travelled the century,

Have you found a man more righteous than

This tall galoot with his Winchester?

Awwww nice! I wish he had lived a happer personal life.

Putting his politics to one side, I think he was a lovely man and a very great film actor.

His married life didn't fare so well but he was nice enough.

Oh and... I'm sure that you have read this but maybe you would like it anyway?

I love that line they put on his grave. Also the line he wanted them to put.

There was poetry in the man.

Agreed!
