Well "Samain" is actually the author of the poem Au Jardin De L'Infante and
this poem was in reponse to that. So I don't believe there is any
connection to the celtic holiday, Samhain.

It is a poem full of modern symbols;sharply pointed.
I liked :
In her is the end of breeding.
Her boredom is exquisite and excessive
It appeals me to come back to the poem again and again.

This poem refers to The British Empire. that is who "she" is. the skein
loose silk is the union jack. This whole poem talks about britain post war.

Matthew 5.5: "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth"
(Jesus' sermon on the mount).
A very biting contrast between Pound's "Of the filthy, sturdy, unkillable
infants of the very poor"

Pretty sickening stuff.For Goebbels,he was a "useful fool"-read William
Joyce's biography(Lord HawHaw).
The children of the poor were far from "unkillable",particularly if they
were non Aryan.

“ Like a skein of loose silk blown against a wall” the word “loose” tells
us that the woman does not feel a sense of belonging. This also shows us
she’s wealthy as ‘silk’ which is a expensive material is used to symbolise
her. “Wall” gives me an impression of a stone or brick wall. This is used
to symbolise the poor people.
The poem makes me sympathize with the woman in the poem though the poet is
mocking at her. The woman in the poem felt lonely, and yet because of her
status she is unapproachable by the poor folks. She seems to want to talk
to them but restrain herself because of her status. I feel it’s a good poem
as in this modern society, many people are striving for wealth and this
poem acts as a reminder that money and richness is not everything, it
cannot buy us our own child or bring you out of loneliness, instead it can
cause a diversion between you and others.

"En robe de parade" translates as "dressed for show." This is from Albert
Samain's "Au Jardin de l'Infante."

so the unkillable children are the walking dead?
hm. okay. although i wouldn't say zombies are Sturdy,
their inheritance of the earth is a possibility.
unless we act now, that is. suggested reading for you all: The Zombie
Survival Guide, by Max Brooks.
