John Berryman - Dream Song 71: Spellbound held subtle Henry all his four

Описание

Spellbound held subtle Henry all his four hearers in the racket of the market with ancient signs, infamous characters, new rythms. On the steps he was beloved, hours a day, by all his four, or more, depending. And they paid him. It was not, so, like no one listening but critics famed & Henry's pals or other tellers at all chiefly in another country. No. He by the heart & brains & tail, because of their love for it, had them. Junk he said to all them open-mouthed. Weather wóuld govern. When the monsoon spread its floods, few came, two. Came a day when none, though he began in his accustomed way on the filthy steps in a crash of waters, came. John Berryman poemhunter.com/poem/dream-song-71-spellbound-held-subtle-henry-all-h/
