VV(12): White Faces

[Dave Monroe]

"White faces, like diseased blooms, bobbed along in the dark as if moved by 
other forces toward some graveyard, to pay homage at an important burial." 
(V., Ch. 9, Sec. i, p. 244)

Cf. Ezra Pound, "In the Station of the Metro" (1913)

The apparition of these faces in the crowd:
Petals on a wet, black bough.

"'Ever heard of D'Annunzio?'  Then: Mussolini? Fiume? Italia irredenta? 
Fascisti?" (p. 242)

Pound?
