For aye my nurse would tell me, “When a man
Draws near his wife with over-fond approach
Be sure he’s done her feelings secret hurt.”
Kan.
There too I’m touched. I’ve done your feelings hurt.
I know your nature and as well I know
You cannot change your ways. Your father rules
Where Greek and Indian manners are immingled;
Your veil’s a portion of your Being’s self,
Yet must I ever pull and pluck at it
