A criticism of ecology of literary works is underscored, which is called Environmental Concerns:Ecocritical Landmarks, Textmarks, Benchmarks (Morrison, 2002). Deprived from the concern for the current research, one of Ezra Pound’s poems has been winnowed, it is a poem deplete with the milieu of nature and women, and originated from the version of “ The Doria”, original name is “??pla” is a poem of Desimagistes(1914) of Ezra Pound (Pound, 1957). On the point of weaving this paper, the author adopts the method of description and analysis, among which, the underlying method of ecocriticism is utilized. Through a close reading of the concise and beautiful lines in the poem, a strong ecological concern for women and nature is mentioned. At the same time, Pound has employed description, metaphor and other techniques in this poem to convey the idea of the unity of heaven and human and the integration of nature. The results show that Pound has carried out a lot of conception and thinkings in the description of environmental vision, including the harmony and unity of human and environment including women and nature. On the one hand, his environmental vision is abundant, which is reflected in his realistic living environment and the depiction of nature in his poems. On the other hand, the expression of poetry is perceptual, and the poet integrates the idea of being integrated with nature in his poetry creation, which to a certain extent, evokes contemporary people’s attention to the ecological environment, and even their sensitivity to current social and environmental challenges, as well as the connection between nature and literature.
