This poem anticipates the Imagists by 40 years or so, and is as good an imagist poem as there is. It consists of a succession of what Ezra Pound called luminous details . Each stanza is like a haiku and embodies a single clear image or idea. Each has 21 syllables, where the traditional haiku has 17, supposedly all that a can be said in a single breath. • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imagism • The poem is also an acrostic, the initial letters of the lines spelling out ALICE PLEASANCE LIDDELL. • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_Li... • Paintings from this blog - Summer Ladies in Small Boats • http://bjws.blogspot.com/2010/07/summ... • Boating at Argenteuil 1873 by Pierre Auguste Renoir
