Ezra Pound - The Lake IsleEzra Pound - The Lake Isle
Work rating: Low


O God, O Venus, O Mercury, patron of thieves,     Give me in due time, I beseech you, a little tobacco-shop,     With the little bright boxes                 piled up neatly upon the shelves     And the loose fragment cavendish                 and the shag,     And the bright Virginia                 loose under the bright glass cases,     And a pair of scales              not too greasy,  And the votailles dropping in for a word or two in passing,  For a flip word, and to tidy their hair a bit.      O God, O Venus, O Mercury, patron of thieves,  Lend me a little tobacco-shop,              or install me in any profession  Save this damn`d profession of writing,              where one needs one`s brains all the time.
