invisible antennæ

I am a rock, I am an island

I've built walls, a fortress deep and mighty

That none may penetrate

I have no need for friendship, friendship causes pain

It's laughter and it's loving I disdain
Why should one always lie about such matters?

 I repeat:It rests me to converse with beautiful women
Even though we talk nothing but nonsense,
The purring of the invisible antennæIs both stimulating and delightful."
Ezra Pound?
