Ezra Pound Poems
- Rome

El nombre de Roma solo dentro de estos muros guarda su hogar. ... - Tenzone
Will people accept them?
(i.e. these songs).
As a timorous wench from a centaur
(or a centurion), ... - La Fraisne
For I was a gaunt, grave councillor
Being in all things wise, and very old,
But I have put aside this folly and the cold
That old age weareth for a cloak. ...
