Explore "What Diantha Did" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
When the fig growns on the thistle, / And the silk purse on the sow; / When one swallow brings the summer, / And blue moons on her brow! ! ! ! !
Then we may look for strength and skill, / Experience, good health, good will, / Art and science well combined, / Honest soul and able mind, / Servants built upon this plan, / One to wait on every man, / Patiently from youth to age, -- / For less than a street cleaner's wage!
