• Imagism in its brevity and focus, but wistful and cute
• “Beauty is the marking time, the stationary vibration, the feigned ecstasy of an arrested impulse unable to reach its natural end.” (Epigraph to “Mana Aboda”)
  • What would this natural end be?
• People in distress
• Obsessed w/the sky
• ”...loveliness that is her own eunuch.”
  • In “Conversion”
  • Seems like speaker died b/c saw beauty: “like any peeping Turk” killed and body sent down river
  • Thus, beauty is an end, time stopping.
