GENTILDONNA by EZRA POUND

Poem Explanation Poet Analysis

First Line: SHE PASSED AND LEFT NO QUIVER IN THE VEINS, WHO NOW
Last Line: GREY OLIVE LEAVES BENEATH A RAIN-COLD SKY.

She passed and left no quiver in the veins, who now
Moving among the trees, and clinging
in the air she severed,
Fanning the grass she walked on then, endures:

Grey olive leaves beneath a rain-cold sky.
