The Household

Poem Artwork

In his household there are three women:

One is a wan-faced nanny,

One is a voluptuous concubine

And a radiant mother in her third month

Of a blissful pregnancy, thank heaven!

Among the three, the housewife

Is the commonest, simplest and yet

Most truly satisfying personality, it seems.

All the three thus stand for religion,

Humanism and naturalism,

Typifying the three ways of life

United under one roof of the family head.

Such simplicity of the first three

Simple numbers is however difficult,

For simplicity is the quality of great mind,

Clever management, steady harmony

And sagely realization outside of him

As a husband, a man and a public figure.

Interesting how this poem derives good manly behavior from an analogy based on women.
