1. Read the following poem
The Return by Ezra Pound

See, they return; ah, see the tentative

Movements, and the slow feet,
The trouble in the pace and the uncertain
Wavering!

See, they return, one, and by one,

With fear, as half-awakened;
As if the snow should hesitate
And murmur in the wind,
and half turn back;
These were the "Wing'd-with-Awe,"
inviolable.

Gods of the wingèd shoe!

With them the silver hounds,
sniffing the trace of air!

Haie! Haie!
These were the swift to harry;
These the keen-scented;
These were the souls of blood.

Slow on the leash,

pallid the leash-men!
