POST MORTEM CONSPECTU by EZRA POUND

Poem Explanation Poet Analysis

First Line: A BROWN, FAT BABE SITTING IN THE LOTUS
Last Line: AND LAUGHTER IS THE END OF ALL THINGS.

A brown, fat babe sitting in the lotus,
And you were glad and laughing
With a laughter not of this world.
It is good to splash in the water
And laughter is the end of all things.
