Ezra Pound - Yeux GlauquesEzra Pound - Yeux Glauques
Work rating: Low


Gladstone was still respected, When John Ruskin produced `King`s Treasuries`; Swinburne And Rossetti still abused. Foetid Buchanan lifted up his voice When that faun`s head of hers Became a pastime for Painters and adulterers. The Burne-Jones cartons Have preserved her eyes; Still, at the Tate, they teach Cophetua to rhapsodize; Thin like brook-water, With a vacant gaze. The English Rubaiyat was still-born In those days. The thin, clear gaze, the same Still darts out faun-like from the half-ruin`d face, Questing and passive. . . . ;Ah, poor Jenny`s case` . . . Bewildered that a world Shows no surprise At her last maquero`s Adulteries.
