    “You the one, I the few”

    speaking of fears in the abstract
    to his volatile friend Mr. Jefferson,
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    there they come and talk to me, just the same.

    They come to bother us. Why? I said I don’t
    know. Perhaps to find out what we are doing.
    Jealous, do you think? I don’t know.
