Tame Cat
Tame Cat - meaning Summary
Rested by Beautiful Company
The speaker candidly admits that being among beautiful women soothes and restores him. He insists on the truth of this feeling, even when their talk is trivial or nonsensical. The poem emphasizes emotional rest rather than intellectual exchange. A cryptic sensory image, the "purring of the invisible antennae," suggests a discreet, physical or aesthetic pleasure that both stimulates and comforts, blending honesty, desire, and light amusement.
