LE MEDECIN MALGRE LUI, by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Oh I suppose I should wash the walls of my office Last Line: But a white thought! Subject(s): Labor & Laborers; Work; Workers | |||
Oh I suppose I should wash the walls of my office polish the rust from my instruments and keep them definitely in order build shelves in the laboratory empty out the old stains clean the bottles and refill them, buy another lens, put my journals on edge instead of letting them lie flat in heaps -- then begin ten years back and gradually read them to date cataloguing important articles for ready reference. I suppose I should read the new books. If to this I added a bill at the tailor's and at the cleaner's grew a decent beard and cultivated a look of importance -- Who can tell? I might be a credit to my Lady Happiness and never think anything but a white thought! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AFTER WORKING SIXTY HOURS AGAIN FOR WHAT REASON by HICOK.
