FLORENCE
11 lines✦
'm going to a village or a farmWhere I'll get up at six instead of twelve,Where I'll wear calico instead of silk,And where there'll be no furnace in the house.And where the carpet which has kept me hereAnd keeps you here as editor is not.I'm going to economize my lifeBy freeing it of systems which grow richBy using me, and for the privilegeBestow these gaudy clothes and perfumed bed.I hate you now, because I hate my life.
