O generation of the thoroughly smug
and the thoroughly uncomfortable,
I have seen fishermen picknicking in the sun, I have seen them
with untidy families, I have seen their smiles full of
teeth and heard ungainly laughter.
And I am happier than you are,
And they were happier than I am;
And the fish swim in the lake
and do not even own clothing

Pound, Ezra. 1916. Lustra.
