LES MILLWIN, by EZRA POUND Poem Explanation Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: The little millwins attend the russian ballet Last Line: For it seems to us worthy of record. | ||||||||
The little Millwins attend the Russian Ballet. The mauve and greenish souls of the little Millwins Were seen lying along the upper seats Like so many unused boas. The turbulent and undisciplined host of art students -- The rigorous deputation from "Slade" -- Was before them. With arms exalted, with fore-arms Crossed in great futuristic X's, the art students Exulted, they beheld the splendours of Cleopatra. And the little Millwins beheld these things; With their large and anaemic eyes they looked out upon this configuration. Let us therefore mention the fact, For it seems to us worthy of record. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ABU SALAMMAMM - A SONG OF EMPIRE by EZRA POUND HOMAGE TO SEXTUS PROPERTIUS: 10 by EZRA POUND HOMAGE TO SEXTUS PROPERTIUS: 11 by EZRA POUND |
