X. Beneath The Sagging Roof

Title:     X. Beneath The Sagging Roof
Author: Ezra Pound [More Titles by Pound]

BENEATH the sagging roof
The stylist has taken shelter,
Unpaid, uncelebrated,
At last from the world's welter

Nature receives him,
With a placid and uneducated mistress
He exercises his talents
And the soil meets his distress.

The haven from sophistications and contentions
Leaks through its thatch;
He offers succulent cooking;
The door has a creaking latch.

[The end]
Ezra Pound's poem: Beneath The Sagging Roof
