Analysis of Muier
William Carlos Williams 1883 (Rutherford) – 1963 (Rutherford)
Oh, black Persian cat!
Was not your life
already cursed with offspring?
We took you for rest to that old
Yankee farm, — so lonely
and with so many field mice
in the long grass —
and you return to us
in this condition —!
Oh, black Persian cat.
