Description
The poems in O, But in the Library suggest desirable restraints in amorous and friendly relationships between partners to avoid domination, absolute uniformity, complacency, and loss of privacy and intrigue. In this principle, one's approach or withdrawal to a comfortable measure of intimacy—avoiding both envelopment and remoteness—produces a positive tension that is esteemed in these poems.
