HUGH SELWYN MAUBERLEY: 10, by EZRA POUND Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: Beneath the sagging roof
Last Line: The door has a creaking latch.
First Line: Beneath the sagging roof
Last Line: The door has a creaking latch.
Beneath the sagging roof
The stylist has taken shelter,
Unpaid, uncelebrated,
At last from the world's welter
Nature receives him;
With a placid and uneducated mistress
He exercises his talents
And the soil meets his distress.
The haven from sophistications and contentions
Leaks through its thatch;
He offers succulent cooking;
The door has a creaking latch.
