He who is eat drawn to love
The soft crimson that enfolds her- That reveals and half conceals her Fair white skin and dazzling fee:- He is made of wood or stone, And is cold as a bronze Baddha! The Geisha is not a demi-mondaine, as is so often thought in the West. While the latter is confined to the Yoshiwara quarter, the Geisha is as free as she is harmless and quite re spectable. The word "Geisha” signifies one who excels in art. Our Geisha is a delightful public enter- tainer-no less and no more--whom we invite to join us when we'enter- tain our friends. She comes to sing. dance, and play, while we sit at dinner and watch her. When not
