And the Days Are Not Full Enough
And the days are not full enough
And the nights are not full enough
And life slips by like a field mouse
Not shaking the grass
Ezra Pound (1885-1972) was an American poet and critic who was a leading figure in the Modernist movement. His works include the epic poem "The Cantos" and the collection "Personae," and he was a key supporter of other writers such as T.S. Eliot and James Joyce. Pound was also a vocal supporter of Fascism during the 1930s, which led to his imprisonment for treason during World War II.
