THE GARDEN
by: Ezra Pound (1885-1972)
IKE a skein of loose silk blown against a wall
She walks by the railing of a path in Kensington Gardens,
And she is dying piece-meal
of a sort of emotional anemia.
And round about there is a rabble
Of the filthy, sturdy, unkillable infants of the very poor.
They shall inherit the earth.
In her is the end of breeding.
Her boredom is exquisite and excessive.
She would like some one to speak to her,
And is almost afraid that I
will commit that indiscretion.
1. what contrast is set up in the first to two stanzas?
2. how would you explain" emotional anemia "? how would that cause someone to die "piecemeal?
3.This is a poem about individuals but it is also about something broader. what is pound's true subject?
can someone help me with this 3 questions..
