Un Pacte. Poem by Michael Walker
Un Pacte.
Rating: ★5.0
Je fais un pacte avec vous, Walt Whitman-
Je vous ai deteste assez longtemps.
Je viens a vous comme un enfant grandi
Qui a un pere tetu;
Je suis maintenant assez age pour me lier en amitie.
C'etait vous qui a battu le bois nouveau,
Maintenant il est temps pour tailler.
Nous avons un seve une racine-
Qu'il soit du commerce entre nous.
-' A Pact'.Ezra Pound.1916,2015.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
It is interesting to compare Whitman and Pound, similar in many ways, yet different too. I have readWhitman's ' Leaves of Grass'
a few times. I have read a lot of Ezra Pound's poetry in anthologies. I think Pound's 'Cantos' are far-reaching in scope and vision, though not without lapses. I prefer the earlier Cantos-ancient Greece.
