'Ancient Music'
"Winter is icummen in,
Lhude sing Goddamm.
Raineth drop and staineth slop,
And how the wind doth ramm!
Sing: Goddamm.
Skiddeth bus and sloppeth us,
An ague hath my ham.
Freezeth river, turneth liver,
Damn you, sing: Goddamm.
Goddamm, Goddamm, 'tis why I am, Goddamm,
So 'gainst the winter's balm.
Sing goddamm, damm, sing Goddamm.
Sing goddamm, sing goddamm, DAMM".
~ Ezra Pound , 1885 -1972
January has started on a bitterly cold note here. I am glad I am not a bird.
More musing on the month of January can be perused over at Sweet Home and Garden Chicago.
