February 9 ~  A Rare Pattern Selected Poems of Amy Lowell "I too am a r a r e pattern. As I w a n d e r down the g a r d e n paths." ~ Amy Lowell A rare pattern, poet Amy Lowell (1874-1925) was born to a wealthy, prestigious family on this day in Brookline, Massachusetts Sensitive and argumentative, she was inspired by the poetry of John Keats and wrote her first volume of poetry, Dome of Many-Coloured Glass , in 1912. "All books," she wrote in Sword Blades and Poppy Seeds (1914), "are either dreams or swords." Her new style of poetry, called Imagism , stressed the importance of concrete words , presented in free-verse, that she called "unrhymed cadence." Influential to her peers, she created precise words chosen without rhetoric or ornamentation. "Employ always the exact word, not the nearly-exact," she explained, greatly influenced by the years she spent studying Oriental art. She experimented with 17-syllable haiku poems and edited a collection of Chinese poetry. "Do we want laurels for ourselves most,/Or most that no one else shall have any?" She questioned in La Ronde Du Diable , from the poetry collection What's O'clock , which earned Lowell the 1926 Pulitzer Prize You, too, are a rare pattern.

To John Keats Leisure Leisure, thou goddess of a bygone age, When hours were long and days sufficed to hold Wide-eyed delights and pleasures uncontrolled By shortening moments, when no gaunt presage Of undone duties, modern heritage, Haunted our happy minds; must thou withhold Thy presence from this over-busy world, And bearing silence with thee disengage Our twined fortunes? Deeps of unhewn woods Alone can cherish thee, alone possess Thy quiet, teeming vigor. This our crime: Not to have worshipped, marred by alien moods That sole condition of all loveliness, The dreaming lapse of slow, unmeasured time.

Amy Lowell (1874-1925) Born into the powerful Lowell family of Massachusetts, Amy Lowell chose not to become a complacent Lowell wife but to live up to the challenges of her most prominent male ancestors. With the help of her family's extensive library, she was primarily self-taught. She published her first book of poetry in 1912, when she was thirty-eight; the book was well-reviewed and became a popular success. In 1913, the new and influential journal Poetry published some Imagist poems by H. D., and Lowell was so struck by H. D.'s lyrical approach that she decided to use her social prominence to promote the Imagist movement. She traveled to England to meet the writers, edited several Imagist anthologies, and published two books of criticism that offered positive endorsements. Not surprisingly, Lowell's own poetry was influenced by Imagism, as seen in such collections as Sword Blades and Poppy Seed Men, Women, and Ghosts

Alas, how few There are who strike in us a chord we knew Existed, but so seldom heard its tone We tremble at the half-forgotten sound.

Amy Lowell quotes American critic, lecturer, and a leading poet of the Imagist school, 1874-1925 I am tired, beloved, of chafing my heart against the want of you; of squeezing it into little inkdrops, and posting it. And I scald alone, here, under the fire of the great moon. You are ice and fire the touch of you burns my hands like snow. Moon! Moon! I am prone before you. Pity me,and drench me in loneliness. Sexual love is the most stupendous fact of the universe, and the most magical mystery our poor blind senses know. Let us be of cheer, remembering that the misfortunes hardest to bear are those which never come. All books are either dreams or swords,You can cut, or you can drug, with words. Take everything easy and quit dreaming and brooding and you will be well guarded from a thousand evils. In science, read by preference the newest works. In literature, read the oldest. The classics are always modern. Art is the desire of a man to express himself, to record the reactions of his personality to the world he lives in.

Vicarious When I stand under the willow-tree Above the river, In my straw-coloured silken garment Embroidered with purple chrysanthemums, It is not at the bright water That I am gazing, But at your portrait, Which I have caused to be painted On my fan. Near Kioto As I crossed over the bridge of Ariwarano Narikira, I saw that the waters were purple With the floating leaves of maple. Yoshiwara Lament Golden peacocks Under blossoming cherry-trees, But on all the wide sea There is no boat. A Year Passes Beyond the porcelain fence of the pleasure garden, I hear the frogs in the blue-green rice-fields; But the sword-shaped moon Has cut my heart in two. Autumn All day I have watched the purple vine leaves Fall into the water.

Fatigue Before the Altar Before the Altar, bowed, he stands With empty hands; Upon it perfumed offerings burn Wreathing with smoke the sacrificial urn. Not one of all these has he given, No flame of his has leapt to Heaven Firesouled, vermilion-hearted, Forked, and darted, Consuming what a few spare pence Have cheaply bought, to fling from hence In idly-asked petition. His sole condition Love and poverty. And while the moon Swings slow across the sky, Athwart a waving pine tree, And soon Tips all the needles there With silver sparkles, bitterly He gazes, while his soul Grows hard with thinking of the poorness of his dole. "Shining and distant Goddess, hear my prayer Where you swim in the high air! With charity look down on me, Under this tree, Tending the gifts I have not brought, The rare and goodly things I have not sought. Instead, take from me all my life! "Upon the wings Of shimmering moonbeams I pack my poet's dreams For you.

THE LITTLE GARDEN A little garden on a bleak hillside Where deep the heavy, dazzling mountain snow Lies far into the spring. The sun's pale glow Is scarcely able to melt patches wide About the single rose bush. All denied Of nature's tender ministries. But no, For wonder-working faith has made it blow With flowers many hued and starry-eyed. Here sleeps the sun long, idle summer hours; Here butterflies and bees fare far to rove Amid the crumpled leaves of poppy flowers; Here four o'clocks, to the passionate night above Fling whiffs of perfume, like pale incense showers. A little garden, loved with a great love! Amy Lowell AZURE AND GOLD April had covered the hills With flickering yellows and reds, The sparkle and coolness of snow Was blown from the mountain beds. Across a deep-sunken stream The pink of blossoming trees, And from windless appleblooms The humming of many bees. The air was of rose and gold Arabesqued with the song of birds Who, swinging unseen under leaves
