 The Fault of It by Ezra Pound 
						Some may have blamed us that we cease to speakOf things we spoke of in our verses early,
 Saying: a lovely voice is such as such;
 Saying: that lady's eyes were sad last week,
 Wherein the world's whole joy is born and dies;
 Saying: she hath this way or that, this much
 Of grace, this way or that, this much
 Of grace, this little misericorde;
 Ask us no further word;
 If we were proud, then proud to be so wise
 Ask us no more of all the things ye heard;
 We may not speak of them, they touch us nearly.
