Ezra Pound: Alba

(Photo: Franz Larese from here)
So, Ezra Pound's birthday today. He would have been . . . never mind, I don't feel like doing the math. He was a little crazy, no doubt about it. Probably even a lot crazy. But still.

Alba
As cool as the pale wet leaves
                                       of lily-of-the-valley
She lay beside me in the dawn.

  2. Didn't like Pound. The inclusion of Chinese characters and German made me feel excluded. Perhaps that was the goal. ~
