Hilda Doolittle God Poems
- 1. Orchard
I saw the first pear
as it fell--
the honey-seeking, golden-banded,

... - 2. Eurydice
I
So you have swept me back,
I who could have walked with the live souls
... - 3. Sitalkas

More beautiful
Than any cool god
In a chamber under
... - 4. Acon
Bear me to Dictaeus,
and to the steep slopes;
to the river Erymanthus.
... - 5. Helen
All Greece hates
the still eyes in the white face,
the lustre as of olives
where she stands,
... - 6. Evadne
I first tasted under Apollo's lips,
love and love sweetness,
I, Evadne;
my hair is made of crisp violets
...
