back to Ezra Pound

“Liu Ch’e” by Ezra Pound 🇺🇸🇮🇹 (30 Oct 18851 Nov 1972)
The rustling of the silk is discontinued,
Dust drifts over the court-yard,
There is no sound of foot-fall, and the leaves
Scurry into heaps and lie still,
And she the rejoicer of the heart is beneath them:
A wet leaf that clings to the threshold.
