back to Ezra Pound

“Threnos” by Ezra Pound 🇺🇸🇮🇹 (30 Oct 1885 – 1 Nov 1972)
No more for us the little sighing,
No more the winds at twilight trouble us.
​
Lo the fair dead!
​
No more do I burn.
No more for us the fluttering of wings
That whirred in the air above us.
​
Lo the fair dead!
​
No more desire flayeth me,
No more for us the trembling
At the meeting of hands.
​
Lo the fair dead!
​
No more for us the wine of the lips,
No more for us the knowledge.
​
Lo the fair dead!
​
No more the torrent,
No more for us the meeting-place
(Lo the fair dead!)
Tintagoel.
