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.

Loved the comments, varied and though humorous I don't know if they were
meant to be. the comment on McCarthism was quite a stretch. I feel the
title tells it all. of course the words in their beautiful simplicity
elicits what most of us feel on what makes life worthwhile

This poem reminds me of the fluffy white bunnies that rome wildly among the
hills of the African desert. This is were they reproduce with the dolphins
and the Dodu birds and as they feed in paridise Among all of the kings men.

I think the poem was about two old people having sex in a public restroom.
And how the immorality of sex will last for ever!

The think that Ezra implies that the people relish love and little more.
Even though loves pass and great deeds are remembered he still chooses love
and that is the immoral decision. That's my take...

Interesting title; perhaps it bespeaks a Calvinistic upbringing? Any'ow,
glad to see that a man who was sent out of his country for his political
views is now acclaimed after the wave of pre-McCarthyism dissipated on the
rocks of common-sense. Sing we for love ...

It sounds like more of a love poem to me. The following lines:
"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."
is, in my oppinion, anyway, saying that despite the fact that life is
evanescent, despite the fact that a love with eventually fade or die, he
would still rather have love than "immortality" for a great and final deed
on the battlefield (the reference to Hungary; the man lived through both
World Wars)

It's a bit cynical but cut's through the crud to the point. People donate
money to flaunt there wealth and make people think better of them. I also
thinks when he mentions the dieing rose he's talking about people that
might leave flowers at a grave or protest but not do really do anything. He
won't hide behind charades, instead he admits he'd rather not spend his
wealth on something he doesn't care about.
