by Dorothy Parker
Dorothy Parker, an American writer of the early 20th century, wrote many poems offering a woman’s perspective on life. In “Penelope,” Parker imagines what Odysseus’ wife might have thought about his journeys.
In the pathway of the sun, In the footsteps of the breeze,Where the world and sky are one, He shall ride the silver seas,
He shall cut the glittering wave.I shall sit at home, and rock;Rise, to heed a neighbor's knock;Brew my tea, and snip my thread;Bleach the linen for my bed.
They will call him brave.
