Analysis of Tame Cat
Ezra Pound 1885 (Hailey) – 1972 (Venice)
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.
