| Notes | The speaker of this poem admires the cultural costumes, appearance, and traditions of the Masai people, a nomadic tribe of the African continent. However, his companion, also an Irish person, seems uncomfortable with their traditional costumes, and would like to put them all in trousers. This implies an urge to homogenise traditional cultures, and hints at the minoritization of native peoples on the African continent and beyond. |
