Um poema de Lewis Carroll

«This poem anticipates the Imagists by 40 years or so, and is as good an imagist poem as there is. It consists of a succession of what Ezra Pound called "luminous details". Each stanza is like a haiku and embodies a single clear image or idea. Each has 21 syllables, where the traditional haiku has 17, supposedly all that a can be said in a single breath. »
