Let Well Alone

Poem Artwork

Demeanour of the gentlemen

Is tasteless as pure water,

While that of the petty men

Is sweet as infused liqueur.

 

But the tastelessness

Of the gentlemen's association

Leads on to affection;

And the sweetness

Of the petty men to aversion.

 

Demeanour of the petty men,

However, has a certain room

To be eventually improved,

While that of the gentlemen

Is to be let well alone. . .

Modern society is inundated with pettiness. Confidence doesn't come when you have all the answers. But it comes when you are ready to face all the questions. Agree with your premise, Alexander.
Peace to you... rlc
