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?

Savoir si monsieur serait

11 lines
Ezra Pound·1885–1972
Poète_ Et si je ne vous donne le pas, qu'est-ce que vous ferez? _Le Monsieur_ Oh! Rien monsieur. Je ne vous ferai rien. Non.... _Le Poète_ Tenez, voila dix francs, et foutez-moi la paix. (_Le monsieur s'en va, puis le poète sort._) The troubles of the Larribeau family, Larribeau and the _bonne_, thevisit of the "Comtese de Pentacosa," who is also staved off with tenfrancs, are all worth quoting. The whole small town is "Spoon-Rivered"with equal verve. "Existences" was written in 1900.
