1. Autumn by T.E.Hulme

A touch of cold in the autumn night
I walked abroad
And saw the ruddy moon lean over a hedge
Like a red-faced farmer.
I did not stop to speak, but nodded,
And round about were the wistful stars
With white faces like town children. ................

Fog by Carl Sandburg

The fog comes On little cat feet.
It sits looking
Over the harbour and city On Silent haunches
And then moves on. ............

Metro:Paris by Ezra

Pound

The aparition of these faces in the crowd;
Petals on a wet black bough. ............

That has read and thought,
And may be what they say is true Of war and war's alarms
But O that I were young again
And held her in my arms! .............

Huge cloudy sumbols of a high romance,
And think that
I may never live to trace
Tehir shadows, with the magic hand of chance;
And when I feel, fair creature of an hour,
That I shall never look upon thee more,
Never have relish in the faery power Of unreflecting love!
O then, on the shore Of the wide world
I stand alone, and think
Till Love and Fame to nothingness do sink ............
