H. D. Dust Poems
- 1. Pear Tree
Silver dust
lifted from the earth,

a split leaf crackles on the paved floor-
I am anguished-defeated.
... - 3. Fragment Sixty-eight
. . . even in the house of Hades.
-Sappho
... - 4. Cities
Can we believe-by an effort
comfort our hearts:
it is not waste all this,
not placed here in disgust,
...
