The Return
For those interested, here is a fairly new piece entitled “The Return.” It is kind of RAW, so bear with the quality (although some of its characteristics come from its source). It is from a series called “Wolf_Dance” which is still in progress.
A month or so after titling the piece I came across a poem called “The Return” by Ezra Pound. Interesting coincidence and although they (the poem and my piece) come/came from two very different places, I think it is definitely worth repeating here for the serendipitous similarities they share:
The Return by Ezra Pound*
See, they return; ah, see the tentative
Movements, and the slow feet,
The trouble in the pace and the uncertain
Wavering!See, they return, one, and by one,
With fear, as half-awakened;
As if the snow should hesitate
And murmur in the wind,
and half turn back;
These were the “Wing’d-with-Awe,”
Inviolable.Gods of the winged shoe!
With them the silver hounds,
sniffing the trace of air!Haie! Haie!
These were the swift to harry;
These the keen-scented;
These were the souls of blood.Slow on the leash,
pallid the leash-men!
