O HELL by MINA LOY

Poet Analysis

First Line: TO CLEAR THE DRIFTS OF SPRING
Last Line: IN THE SHAFT OF THE SUN

To clear the drifts of spring
Of our forebear's excrements
And bury the subconscious archives
Under unaffected flowers


Indeed-


Our person is a covered entrance to infinity
Choked with the tatters of tradition


Goddesses and Young Gods
Caress the sanctity of Adolescence
In the shaft of the sun.
