The bashful Arides <br />Has married an ugly wife, <br />He was bored with his manner of life, <br />Indifferent and discouraged he thought he might as <br />Well do this as anything else. <br /> <br />Saying within his heart,’I am no use to myself, <br />'Let her, if she wants me, take me.' <br />He went to his doom.<br /><br />Ezra Pound<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/arides/
