Musee Metropolitain. Poem by Michael Walker
Musee Metropolitain.
J'entrai du grondement
Des rues de cite
Regarder une urne grecque.
Je pensais a Keats-
A mon esprit flotterent des vers
Remplis des douceurs des amants.
Des ages du passe tomberent
A mes mains les petales
D'un asphodel.
-'Metropolitan Museum'.Langston Hughes.
From 'Poems1961-1967'. 'Collected Poems
of Langston Hughes', Rampersad/ Roessel, op. cit. p.550.
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know'.
'Metropolitan Museum' has the strength of a modern poem set in a noisy city. More comparisons between the two, very different, poems could be made.
