Hilda Doolittle Gold Poems
- 1. Cities
Can we believe -- by an effort
comfort our hearts:
it is not waste all this,
not placed here in disgust,
... - 2. Adonis
1.
Each of us like you
has died once,
... - 3. Sea Poppies
Amber husk
fluted with gold,
fruit on the sand
marked with a rich grain,
... - 4. Eurydice
I
So you have swept me back,
I who could have walked with the live souls
... - 5. Evadne
I first tasted under Apollo's lips,
love and love sweetness,
I, Evadne;
my hair is made of crisp violets
... - 6. Song
YOU are as gold
as the half-ripe grain
that merges to gold again,
as white as the white rain
... - 7. Leda
Where the slow river
meets the tide,
a red swan lifts red wings
and darker beak,
...
