ITE by EZRA POUND

Poem Explanation Poet Analysis

First Line: GO, MY SONGS, SEEK YOUR PRAISE FROM THE YOUNG AND FROM THE
Last Line: AND TAKE YOUR WOUNDS FROM IT GLADLY.
Go, my songs, seek your praise from the young and from the intolerant,
Move among the lovers of perfection alone.
Seek ever to stand in the hard Sophoclean light
And take your wounds from it gladly.
