Ezra Pound - An Immorality

Sing we for love and idleness,
Naught else is worth the having.

Though I have been in many a land,
There is naught else in living.

And I would rather have my sweet,
Though rose-leaves die of grieving,

Than do high deeds in Hungary
To pass all men's believing.

It's not "An Immortality," Carey N., it's "An Immorality." What a great poem! I love this one even though Pound was a Nazi sympathizer (see the comments fron the fellow from Australia). Would that we all could so succinctly sum up our feelings when it comes to expressing them about those things we love.
