Psychoanalytic Poems: Freud And H.D. Poem by Paolo Giuseppe Mazzarello

Vienna,1933. The American poet Mrs. Hilda Doolittle (H.D.)meets Prof. Sigmund Freud, the psychoanalysis's founder. She is 47 and he is 77. This is the beginning of a therapeutic relation that will last till 1934. The Freud's office was at 19 Berggasse.

The Hilda's visions were daydreams in borderland,
She projected herself in her love's objects.
In her verses she put her sensitive soul,
Her love's objects didn't receive her soul.
One day the good Hilda came into Nineteen Berggasse;
There were books, carpets and dark.
Hilda got The Lesbos's sun to come in.
Sigi had his family and his dog shut up in his castle;
Hilda took Sigi out to her childhood's garden.
Sigi reminded her of her mother,
Then Hilda felt as a mother to him.
Sigi couldn't leave his castle,
One night the Earth's Ghost called on him.
Hilda and Sigi found themselves
In the sun of the Lesbo's beach.
There were books and carpets,
Dark was faded. Moravia begot someone,
Pennsylvania fed somebody else,
Greece welcomed and renewed them.
