Pansies (Lawrence)/I Wish I Knew a Woman—

​

I WISH I KNEW A WOMAN———
I wish I knew a womanwho was like a red fire on the hearthglowing after the day's restless draughts.
So that one could draw near herin the red stillness of the duskand really take delight in her
​
without having to make the polite effort of loving heror the mental effort of making her acquaintance.Without having to take a chill, talking to her.
