Pansies (Lawrence)/Energetic Women

​

ENERGETIC WOMEN
Why are women so energetic?prancing their knees under their tiny skirtslike war-horses; or war-ponies at least!
Why are they so centrifugal?Why are they so bursting, flinging themselves about?Why, as they grow older, do they suffer from blood-pressure?
Why are they never happy to be still?Why did they cut off their long hairwhich they could comb by the hour in luxurious quiet?I suppose when the men all started being Willy wet-legswomen felt it was no longer any use being a linger-longer-Lucy.
