The Pool

by Hilda Doolittle

Hilda Doolittle

Are you alive?
I touch you.
You quiver like a sea-fish.
I cover you with my net.
What are you; banded one?

    Hope
    by Max Ehrmann
    Deny me all the good of earth — All joy and soul-rebounding mirth, All wealth and rank and love’s great days; But leave one thing by which to cope With ebbing life’s dim evening rays — Leave me but hope.
