In a Station of the Metro

The apparition of these faces in the crowd;Petals on a wet, black bough.

Ezra Pound (1913)

A Girl

The tree has entered my hands,The sap has ascended my arms,The tree has grown in my breast -Downward,The branches grow out of me, like arms.

Tree you are,Moss you are,You are violets with wind above them.A child - so high - you are,And all this is folly to the world.

And the days are not full enough

And the days are not full enoughAnd the nights are not full enoughAnd life slips by like a field mouse Not shaking the grass
