Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A More Honorable Man To Ethel Pettit Roche Some folks misunderstand my scorn; What do they know, the profiteers? Female things that they may adorn To prove their wealth among their peers. Life is a car of shifting gears That grind unless the true God drives. Mortals make futile engineers... I pity men who marry wives. Burdens they bear that can´t be borne. (Leap in the dark, my silly dears!) Some are glad to be lewdly worn And plume themselves at strangers´ leers - Behind them lie unuttered sneers. Each may choose from a million lives; Too late for most the vision clears... I pity men who marry wives. Loveless passion is bastard born; Passionless love flees honest jeers; And both are furtive, soiled, forlorn... Mistresses´ smiles soon change to tears; Wives are alive to stupid fears... But you, who share how God contrives To run his Heaven, sans you, for years... I pity men who marry wives. Envoy Lady, in ecstacy he cheers, Who for divinity ne´er strives, But sees you come and knows it nears - I pity men who marry wives!
