SUB MARE, by EZRA POUND Poem Explanation Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: It is, and is not, I am sane enough
Last Line: These things that are familiars of the god.
First Line: It is, and is not, I am sane enough
Last Line: These things that are familiars of the god.
It is, and is not, I am sane enough,
Since you have come this place has hovered round me,
This fabrication built of autumn roses,
Then there's a goldish colour, different.
And one gropes in these things as delicate
Algae reach up and out, beneath
Pale slow green surgings of the underwave,
'Mid these things older than the names they have,
These things that are familiars of the god.
