blueyorkie's review against another edition
3.0
The First Part of the book consists of the exchange of affectionate correspondence between H. D. and Ezra Pound.
The Second Part: The ultimate nobility is to use classical and mythological references without becoming draping like Victor Hugo, making them live in a poetic gesture that will make you more alive than your spouse. The sky is bouncing on earth - Young people reconciled with the old ones.
'The Wind' by Ezra Pound
"I would go forth into the night", she saith.
The night is freezing beneath the moon.
'Twere meet, my Love that thou went forth at noon
For now, the sky is cold as very death.
And then she drew a little sobbing breath.
"Without a little lonely wind doth crane
And calleth me with wandered elfin rune
That all real wind-born children summoneth
Dear, hold me closer! So, until it is past.
Nay, I am gone the while. Await!"
And I await her here, for I have understood.
Yet held I not this much wind – bound fast.
Within the castle of my soul, I would
For very faintness at her parting, die.
