Ezra Pound, "The Garden", Lustra (1916)
“
And she is dying piece-meal of a sort of emotional anæmia. * * * * * In her is the end of breeding. Her boredom is exquisite and excessive. She would like some one to speak to her, And is almost afraid that I will commit that indiscretion.
— Ezra Pound on Women
