Hilda Doolittle Wind Poems
- 1. Sheltered Garden
I have had enough.
I gasp for breath.
Every way ends, every road,
... - 2. Wash Of Cold River
Wash of cold river
in a glacial land,
Ionian water,
chill, snow-ribbed sand,
... - 3. Eurydice
I
So you have swept me back,
I who could have walked with the live souls
... - 4. Heat
O wind, rend open the heat,
cut apart the heat,
rend it to tatters.
... - 5. Stars Wheel In Purple
Stars wheel in purple, yours is not so rare
as Hesperus, nor yet so great a star
as bright Aldeboran or Sirius,
nor yet the stained and brilliant one of War;
... - 6. Evadne
I first tasted under Apollo's lips,
love and love sweetness,
I, Evadne;
my hair is made of crisp violets
... - 7. Sea Rose
Rose, harsh rose,
marred and with stint of petals,
meagre flower, thin,
sparse of leaf,
... - 8. The Helmsman
O be swift-
we have always known you wanted us.
We fled inland with our flocks.
