3 Read the poem and summarize it

Cities by Hilda Doolittle Can we believe -- by an effort comfort our hearts: it is not waste all this, not placed here in disgust, street after street, each patterned alike, no grace to lighten a single house of the hundred crowded into one garden-space. The city is peopled with spirits, not ghosts, O my love: Though they crowded between and usurped the kiss of my mouth their breath was your gift, their beauty, your life.

Architecture of the area is also changing. Most likely, this is a place in Southeast Asia will be really new tourist destination in the world, another wonder of the world, such as the pyramids in Egypt, or some ancient temples. But this was built a man-made marvel.
