Classic and Contemporary Poetry

HUGH SELWYN MAUBERLEY: 11, by EZRA POUND Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: Conservatrix of milesien' / habits of mind and feeling
Last Line: Told her would fit her station.

"Conservatrix of Milesien"
Habits of mind and feeling,
Possibly. But in Ealing;
With the most bank-clerkly of Englishmen?

No, "Milesian" is an exaggeration.
No instinct has survived in her
Older than those her grandmother
Told her would fit her station.
