Ezra Pound - Before Sleep

I'm posting this with the hope that some will then read Life, The Universe and Everything with different eyes...well, also because Annubis echoed "Spirit dogs from the underworld have arrived".

Before Sleep
The lateral vibrations caress me,
They leap and caress me,
They work pathetically in my favour,
They seek my financial good.
She of the spear stands present.
The gods of the underworld attend me, O Annubis,
These are they of thy company.
With a pathetic solicitude they attend me;
Undulant,
Their realm is the lateral courses.
Light!
I am up to follow thee, Pallas.
Up and out of their caresses.
You were gone up as a rocket,
Bending your passages from right to left and from left to right
In the flat projection of a spiral.
The gods of drugged sleep attend me,
Wishing me well;
I am up to follow thee, Pallas.
Err...
That looks like a scythe in her hand. And there's a fellow missing parts on the other side... :o
It was ugly. There were toothpicks everywhere...
