So de von who couldt "scoop" dis seddlement vouldt

The Ghetto

© Lola Ridge

Cool, inaccessible air
Is floating in velvety blackness shot with steel-blue lights,
But no breath stirs the heat
Leaning its ponderous bulk upon the Ghetto
And most on Hester street…

L'Homme Moyen Sensuel

© Ezra Pound

Yet Radway went. A circumspectious prig!
And then that woman like a guinea-pig
Accosted, that's the word, accosted him,
Thereon the amorous calor slightly frosted him.
(I burn, I freeze, I sweat, said the fair Greek,
I speak in contradictions, so to speak.)

This rich display of flowers,
This airy wild of fragrance,

And to the sense so sweet.

Modern Elfland

I Cut a staff in a churchyard copse,

To run o'er better waters hoists its sail
  The little vessel of my genius now,
  That leaves behind itself a sea so cruel;

Accept this building, gracious Lord,
No temple though it be;
We raised it for our suffering kin,
And so, Good Lord, for Thee.

Alfred. Book II.

  Persuasive, on the attentive hearers hung:
  The monarch and his warlike thanes around
  Still listening sat, in silent wonder bound.

© Jane Taylor

We all could undertake to laugh at her ;
Since vulgar prejudice, the lowest kind,
Of course, has full possession of her mind ;
Here, therefore, let us leave her, and inquire
Wherein it differs as it rises higher.
