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?

The Garret

11 lines
Ezra Pound·1885–1972
ome let us pity those who are better off than we are.Come, my friend, and rememberthat the rich have butlers and no friends,And we have friends and no butlers.Come let us pity the married and the unmarried. Dawn enters with little feetlike a gilded Pavlova,And I am near my desire.Nor has life in it aught betterThan this hour of clear coolness,the hour of waking together.
