Pansies (Lawrence)/Young Fathers

YOUNG FATHERS
Young men, having no real joy in life and no hope in the future
how can they commit the indecency of begetting children
without first begetting a new hope for the children to grow up to?

But then, you need only look at the modern perambulator
to see that a child, as soon as it is born,
is put by its parents into its coffin.
