“A Girl” by Ezra Pound 🇺🇸🇮🇹 (30 Oct 1885 – 1 Nov 1972)
The tree has entered my hands,
The sap has ascended my arms,
The tree has grown in my breast—
Downward,
The branches grow out of me, like arms.
​
Tree you are,
Moss you are,
You are violets with wind above them.
A child—so high—you are,
And all this is folly to the world.
