BLACK SLIPPERS: BELLOTTI, by EZRA POUND Poem Explanation Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: At the table beyond us
Last Line: She re-enters them with a groan.
First Line: At the table beyond us
Last Line: She re-enters them with a groan.
At the table beyond us
With her little suede slippers off,
With her white-stocking'd feet
Carefully kept from the floor by a napkin,
She converses:
"Connaissez-vous Ostende?"
The gurgling Italian lady on the other side of the restaurant
Replies with a certain hauteur,
But I await with patience,
To see how Celestine will re-enter her slippers.
She re-enters them with a groan.
