    About this ebook

    'Canzoni & Ripostes' is a collection of poems by the famous poet Ezra Pound. The poems are varied in length and in theme, though they are in the style of Imagist poetry which Pound is famous for. Imagists called for a return to more Classical values, such as directness of presentation, economy of language, and a willingness to experiment with non-traditional verse forms.

      Poem Of The Week: The North Wind By Anne Brontë

      May 8, 2023

      That wind is from the North, I know it well;No other breeze could have so wild a swell.Now deep and loud it thunders round my cell,Then faintly dies,And softly sighs,And moans and murmurs mournfully.I know its language; thus is speaks to me – ‘I have

      (WRITTEN IN REPLY TO MANNING'S KORÈ.)

      "Et huiusmodi stantiae usus est fere in omnibus cantionibus suis

      Arnaldus Danielis et nos eum secuti sumus."

      DANTE, De Vulgari Eloquio, II. 10.

      I

      Ah! red-leafed time hath driven out the rose

      And crimson dew is fallen on the leaf

      Ere ever yet the cold white wheat be sown

      That hideth all earth's green and sere and red;

      The Moon-flower's fallen and the branch is bare,

      Holding no honey for the starry bees;

      The Maiden turns to her dark lord's demesne.

      II

      Fairer than Enna's field when Ceres sows

      The stars of hyacinth and puts off grief,

      Fairer than petals on May morning blown

      Through apple-orchards where the sun hath shed

      His brighter petals down to make them fair;

      Fairer than these the Poppy-crowned One flees,

      And Joy goes weeping in her scarlet train.

      III

      The faint damp wind that, ere the even, blows

      Piling the west with many a tawny sheaf,

      Then when the last glad wavering hours are mown

      Sigheth and dies because the day is sped;

      This wind is like her and the listless air

      Wherewith she goeth by beneath the trees,

      The trees that mock her with their scarlet stain.

      IV

      Love that is born of Time and comes and goes!

      Love that doth hold all noble hearts in fief!

      As red leaves follow where the wind hath flown,

      So all men follow Love when Love is dead.

      O Fate of Wind! O Wind that cannot spare,

      But drivest out the Maid, and pourest lees

      Of all thy crimson on the wold again,

      V

      Korè my heart is, let it stand sans gloze!

      Love's pain is long, and lo, love's joy is brief!

      My heart erst alway sweet is bitter grown;

      As crimson ruleth in the good green's stead,

      So grief hath taken all mine old joy's share

      And driven forth my solace and all ease

      Where pleasure bows to all-usurping pain.

      VI

      Crimson the hearth where one last ember glows!

      My heart's new winter hath no such relief,

      Nor thought of Spring whose blossom he hath known

      Hath turned him back where Spring is banished.

      Barren the heart and dead the fires there,

      Blow! O ye ashes, where the winds shall please,

      But cry, Love also is the Yearly Slain.

      VII

      Be sped, my Canzon, through the bitter air!

      To him who speaketh words as fair as these,

      Say that I also know the Yearly Slain.

      CANZON: THE SPEAR

      I

      'Tis the clear light of love I praise

      That steadfast gloweth o'er deep waters,

      A clarity that gleams always.

      Though man's soul pass through troubled waters,

      Strange ways to him are openèd.

      To shore the beaten ship is
