This is a good horse. Let's keep it alive.
Alas, Glen, the link didn't work. Can you resend it, if it is crucial to my
understanding what you wrote.
Meantime, I offer the following for you all to stew on:
And I have known the arms already, known them all—
Arms that are braceleted and white and bare
(But in the lamplight, downed with light brown hair!)
Is it perfume from a dress
That makes me so digress?
Arms that lie along a table, or wrap about a shawl.
And should I then presume?
And how should I begin?
Shall I say, I have gone at dusk through narrow streets
And watched the smoke that rises from the pipes
Of lonely men in shirt-sleeves, leaning out of windows? ...
I should have been a pair of ragged claws
Scuttling across the floors of silent seas..

Women must have the right to bare their arms without comment

uncomfortable in the public eye, the opposite of a “look-at-me” beauty queen."
