In Pursuit of Poetry

March 19 - Ezra Pound - The Days Are Not Full Enough

March 19, 2018
This reflects how I am feeling... like life is slipping past and I am not doing enough. What am I even supposed to be doing? A heaviness fills me with a growing sense of dread. I can't go on as I have been, I must be doing more and it must be able to support me as I grow older.

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

This is one of Ezra Pound's poems. Simple, yet so powerful. Truth and beauty.
