POETRY: A Magazine of Verse
I come to you as a grown child Who has had a pig-headed father; I am old enough now to make friends. It was you that broke the new wood, Now is a time for carving. We have one sap and one root Let there be commerce between us.
IN A STATION OF THE METRO
The apparition of these faces in the crowd : Petals on a wet, black bough .
Ezra Pound
