Pansies (Lawrence)/Paltry-Looking People—

PALTRY-LOOKING PEOPLE———
And think how the nightingale, who is so shymakes of himself a belfry of throbbing sound!While people mince mean words through their teeth.
And think how wild animals trot with splendourtill man destroys them!how vividly they make their assertion of life!
But how paltry, mingy and dingy and squalid people lookin their rag garments scuttling through the streets,or sitting stuck like automata in automobiles!
