YOU INTERFERING LADIES, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: You interfering ladies, you Last Line: Enjoy a pinch of snuff, and sneeze. Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): Man-woman Relationships; Male-female Relations | ||||||||
You interfering ladies, you That prove your minds enjoy less rest Than those poor mortals you advise, Whose habits shock your dainty taste -- Peace, let the poor be free to do The things they like -- be happy, you! Let boys and girls kiss here and there, Men drink, and smoke the strongest weed; Let beggars, who'll not wash with soap, Enjoy their scratching till they bleed: Let all poor women, if they please, Enjoy a pinch of snuff, and sneeze. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MISERY AND SPLENDOR by ROBERT HASS THE APPLE TREES AT OLEMA by ROBERT HASS DOUBLE SONNET by ANTHONY HECHT CONDITIONS XXI by ESSEX HEMPHILL CALIFORNIA SORROW: MOUNTAIN VIEW by MARY KINZIE SUPERBIA: A TRIUMPH WITH NO TRAIN by MARY KINZIE COUNSEL TO UNREASON by LEONIE ADAMS TWENTY QUESTIONS by DAVID LEHMAN A BIRD'S ANGER by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
