More quotes by Ezra Pound
Allow me to say that I would long since have committed suicide had desisting made me a professor of Latin.
Ezra Pound
That text is known to them that have the patience to read it, possibly one one-hundredth of one percent of the denizens. They forget it, all save a few Western states. I think somebody in Dakota once read it. The Constitution.
Ezra Pound
What thou lovest well remains, the rest is dross What thou lov'st well shall not be reft from thee What thou lov'st well is thy true heritage Whose world, or mine or theirs or is it of none? First came the seen, then thus the palpable Elysium, though it were in the halls of hell. What thou lovest well is thy true heritage.
Ezra Pound
The artist is always beginning.
Ezra Pound
What thou lovest well remains.
Ezra Pound
A man of genius has a right to any mode of expression.
Ezra Pound
We do NOT know the past in chronological sequence. It may be convenient to lay it out anesthetized on the table with dates pasted on here and there, but what we know we know by ripples and spirals eddying out from us and from our own time.
Ezra Pound
The technique of infamy is to start two lies at once and get people arguing heatedly over which is the truth.
Ezra Pound
The eyes of this dead lady speak to me For here was love, was not to be drowned out. And here desire, not to be kissed away. The eyes of this dead lady speak to me.
Ezra Pound
Poetry is a very complex art.... It is an art of pure sound bound in through an art of arbitrary and conventional symbols.
Ezra Pound
The modern artist must live by craft and violence. His gods are violent gods. Those artists, so called, whose work does not show this strife, are uninteresting.
Ezra Pound
Until you know who has lent what to whom, you know nothing whatever of politics, you know nothing whatever of history, you know nothing of international wrangles.
Ezra Pound
There is no topicmore soporific and generally boring than the topic of Ireland as Ireland, as a nation.
Ezra Pound
From the colour the nature And by the nature the sign! Beatific spirits welding together As in one ash-tree in Ygdrasail.
Ezra Pound
Humanity is the rich effluvium, it is the waste and the manure and the soil, and from it grows the tree of the arts.
Ezra Pound
One discards rhyme, not because one is incapable of rhyming neat, fleet, sweet, meet, treat, eat, feet but because there are certain emotions or energies which are nor represented by the over-familiar devices or patterns.
Ezra Pound
It doesn't matter which leg of your table you make first, so long as the table has four legs and will stand up solidly when you have finished it.
Ezra Pound
The book shd. be a ball of light in one's hand.
Ezra Pound
Rhythm must have meaning.
Ezra Pound
There is no reason why the same man should like the same books at eighteen and at forty-eight
