The Coming of War: Actæon
By Ezra Pound
A
and the fields
Full of faint light
but golden,
Gray cliffs,
and beneath them
A sea
Harsher than granite,
unstill, never ceasing;
with the movement of gods,
Perilous aspect;
And one said:
“This is Actaeon.”
Actaeon of golden greaves!
Over the cool face of that field,
Unstill, ever moving,
Host of an ancient people,
The silent cortège.
