The Seeing Eye

Ezra Pound

THE SMALL dogs look at the big dogs;

They observe unwieldly dimensions

And curious imperfections of odor.

Here is a formal male group:

The young men look upon their seniors,

They consider the elderly mind

And observe its inexplicable correlations.

Said Tsin-Tsu:

It is only in small dogs and the young

That we find minute observation.
