I gazed at the white reef of the Victorian stucco -
Here, the photographer had bedazzled his mutton chopped sitters -
He'd sported a beard and a tasselled smoking cap -
Conning the golden guineas -
Thrown upon the shore by a wild sea -.
Trying to save a lordling -
The icy rope torn from his hand -
The musicians still playing in the gilded ballroom -
