William Blake

Does the Eagle know what is in the pit?

Or wilt thou go ask the Mole:

Can Wisdom be put in a silver rod?

Or Love in a golden bowl?

Salutation

10 lines
Ezra Pound·1885–1972
generation of the thoroughly smugand thoroughly uncomfortable,I have seen fishermen picnicking in the sun,I have seen them with untidy families,I have seen their smiles full of teethand heard ungainly laughter. And I am happier than you are,And they were happier than I am;And the fish swim in the lakeand do not even own clothing.
