Ezra Pound - Alba

As cool as the pale wet leaves 
of lily-of-the-valley 
She lay beside me in the dawn.

Alba is a true representation of imagism .
it deals with objects as imagism is the poetry of objects .It also reflects Pound's influence by the images of nature , namely the Japanese hyko .by the lily , cool , Pound means that nature becomes cool in emotions as the life in the metropolis .

Compare with "The Garret." I bet he wrote this one later. Both great poems, similar idea; this one pared down even further.

This poem is very beautiful and represents a persons happiness to see their love beside them in the morning...
