Some thirty inches from my nose
The frontier of my person goes,
And all the untilled air between
Is private Pagus or demesne.
Stranger, unless with bedroom eyes
I beckon you to fraternise,
Beware of rudely crossing it:
I have no gun, but I can spitW. H. Auden About the House
Private and personal space
