Pansies (Lawrence)/Tolerance

TOLERANCE
One can be tolerant with a bore
and suffer fools, though not gladly
—why should a man pretend to be glad about his sufferings?—

But it is hard to be tolerant with the smarties,
or to put up with the clever mess-makers,
or to endure the jazzy person;
one can't stand peaceless people any more.
