In the poem, "Portrait in Georgia" by, Jean Toomer, how does it depictthe relationship between beauty and violence in the south? Could you give me a few points to touch on? Anything helps.
Here is the peom:
Hair-braided chestnut,
coiled like a lyncher's rope,
Eye-fagots,
Lips-old scars, or the first red blisters,
Breath-the last sweet scent of cane,
And her slim body, white as the ash
        of black flesh after flame.
