MAUBERLEY: 4, by EZRA POUND Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Scattered moluccas / not knowing, day to day Last Line: "an hedonist." | |||
Scattered Moluccas Not knowing, day to day, The first day's end, in the next noon; The placid water Unbroken by the Simoon; Thick foliage Placid beneath warm suns, Tawn fore-shores Washed in the cobalt of oblivions; Or through dawn-mist The gray and rose Of the juridical Flamingoes; A consciousness disjunct, Being but this overblotted Series Of intermittences; Coracle of Pacific voyages, The unforecasted beach; Then on an oar Read this: "I was And I no more exist; Here drifted An hedonist." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ABU SALAMMAMM - A SONG OF EMPIRE by EZRA POUND HOMAGE TO SEXTUS PROPERTIUS: 10 by EZRA POUND |
