| "Oread" is also the title of a poem by Hilda Doolittle.
| |
|
| |
| Hilda Doolittle published her first poems under the name H. D. Imagiste (the 'e' was meant to suggest the French poets to whom Imagism owed such a debt). Later, she dropped the artificial surname and wrote as just plain 'H. D.'.
| |
|
| |
| ''Oread'', one of her earliest and best-known poems, which was first published in the 1915 anthology, serves to illustrate this early style well.
| |
|
| |
| The title Oread was added after the poem was first written, to suggest that a Nymph was ordering up the sea...
| |
|
| |
| :'''''Oread'''''
| |
|
| |
| :Whirl up, sea—
| |
| :Whirl your pointed pines.
| |
| :Splash your great pines
| |
| :On our rocks.
| |
| :Hurl your green over us—
| |
| :Cover us with your pools of fir.
