    L1 signifies a process of the decaying of life, which is initiated by Mother Nature, while the mystifying power of the human force manifest in Ls 2&3 conveys a strong sense of yugen.

    Note: For more info. about yugen, see my "Poetic Musings" post, "Ezra Pound’s "Metro Poem" as a Yugen Haiku," which can be accessed at http://neverendingstoryhaikutanka.blogspot.ca/2013/04/poetic-musings-ezra-pounds-metro-poem.html
