Untitled (And the days are not full enough…) – Ezra Pound

[1885–1972, American]

And the days are not full enough 
And the nights are not full enough 
And life slips by like a field mouse 
Not shaking the grass

In a Station of the Metro -- Ezra Pound

[1885–1972, American]

The apparition of these faces in the crowd;
 Petals on a wet, black bough.
