The following text is from H.D.’s 1916 poem “Mid-Day.” In the poem, the speaker is on a path in an outdoor setting.
A slight wind shakes the seed-pods—
my thoughts are spent
as the black seeds.
My thoughts tear me;
I dread their fever.
I am scattered in its whirl.
I am scattered like
the hot shrivelled seeds.
