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?

SUB TERRA

William Carlos Williams·1883–1963·Beat Generation
here shall I find you,you my grotesque fellowsthat I seek everywhereto make up my band?None, not onewith the earthy tastes I require;the burrowing pride that risessubtly as on a bush in May. Where are you this day,you my seven year locustswith cased wings?Ah my beauties how I long--!That harvestthat shall be your advent--thrusting up through the grass,up under the weedsanswering me,_that_ shall be satisfying!The light shall leap and snapthat day as with a million lashes! Oh, I have you; yesyou are about me in a sense:playing under the blue poolsthat are my windows,--but they shut you out still,there in the half light.
