“Epigrams” by Ezra Pound 🇺🇸🇮🇹 (30 Oct 18851 Nov 1972)
I.
O ivory, delicate hands!
O face that hovers
Between “To-come” and “Was,”
Ivory thou wast,
A rose thou wilt be.
II. The Sea of Glass
I looked and saw a sea
roofed over with rainbows,
In the midst of each
two lovers met and departed;
Then the sky was full of faces
with gold glories behind them.
