Surgit FamaEzra Pound
Fragment from an unwritable play
T
Korè is seen in the North
Skirting the blue-gray sea
In gilded and russet mantle.
The corn has again its mother and she, Leuconoë,
That failed never women,
Fails not the earth now.
He moves behind me
Eager to catch my words,
Eager to spread them with rumor;
To set upon them his change
Crafty and subtle;
To alter them to his purpose;
But do thou speak true, even to the letter:
Once more is the chant heard.
Once more are the never abandoned gardens
Full of gossip and old tales.”
