Poems from today’s podcast:
Lend me your arms
Fast as thunderbolts
For a pillow for my journey
Hendrik Doeff (1777 – 1835)
A water lily
Emerges from the depths –
Rippling water
Paul Ernst, trs Patricia McGuire
The apparition of these faces in the crowd:
Petals on a wet, black bough.
Ezra Pound, Poetry, 1913
lute, sing your song:
the wind chases away spring and blossoms.
the moon weeps in the reeds.
Hans Kanzius, Trs Patricia McGuire
Small moths tumble shuddering across the box;
This evening they die and will never know
that it wasn’t spring”
Rainer M Rilke, Trs P McGuire
Mary nurses the Christ child
And behind her on a rope
Nappies billow in the wind
Franz Blei, 1925, Trs Patricia McGuire
Five continents tremble,
When the grain prise rises:
And not when you cry
Yvan Goll, 1927, Trs Patricia McGuire
fallen blossom
returning to the branch?
ah, no—a butterfly
Moritake, Tr. David LaSpina
The leaves of ivy –
all of them quiver
in the autumn wind
