hundraårigt lyrikfynd på loppis

Modern American Poetry (1919) av Louis Untermeyer, en bok med 620 tunna vällästa sidor. Jag tar gärna vägledning och tips av den förra ägarens anteckningar (en julklapp av Wilhelm 1925). Dikter av Ezra Pound som tilltalat förra ägaren:

A GIRL by Ezra Pound
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.
303Tree 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.

IN A STATION OF THE METRO by Ezra Pound
The apparition of these faces in the crowd;
Petals on a wet, black bough.
