La Vendeuse. (Translation) . Poem by Michael Walker
La Vendeuse. (Translation) .
Elle se reposa un moment contre moi
Comme une hirondelle a moitie renversee par le vent au mur,
Et l'on parle des femmes de Swinburne,
Et de la bergere faisant la connaissance de Guido.
Et des coutisanes de Baudelaire.
- 'Shop Girl'. Ezra Pound.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
See Poem Hunter/ Ezra Pound/ 176/250 to read the English original.
The poet writes of a memorable moment when he was accidentally touched by a beautiful shop assistant; the moment he captures is like a snapshot. It was better, he implies, than Swinburne's women or Baudelaire's harlots. I could imagine how excited he felt.
