Salutation
Ezra Pound
- O GENERATION of the
thoroughly smug
- and the thoroughly uncomfortable,
- I have seen fishermen picknicking in the sun,
- I have seen them with untidy families,
- I have seen their smiles full of teeth
- and heard ungainly laughter.
- And I am happier than you are,
- And they were happier than I am;
- And the fish swim in the lake
- and do not even own clothing.
-
