    A Pact

    by Erza Pound

    I make a pact with you, Walt Whitman I have detested you long enough.
    I come to you as a grown child
    Who has had a pig-headed father;
    I am old enough now to make friends.
    It was you that broke the new wood,
    Now is a time for carving.
    We have one sap and one root Let there be commerce between us.
