TAME CAT, by EZRA POUND Poem Explanation Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: It rests me to be among beautiful women
Last Line: "is both stimulating and delightful."
Subject(s): Beauty

"It rests me to be among beautiful women.
Why should one always lie about such matters?
I repeat:
It rests me to converse with beautiful women
Even though we talk nothing but nonsense,

The purring of the invisible antennae
Is both stimulating and delightful."
