More quotes by Ezra Pound
The artist is always beginning.
Ezra Pound
Discoveries are made by gluttons and addicts. The man who forgets to eat and sleep has an appetite for fact, for interrelations among causes.
Ezra Pound
The Image is more than an idea. It is a vortex or cluster of fused ideas and is endowed with energy.
Ezra Pound
The concept of genius as akin to madness has been carefully cultivated by the inferiority complex of the public.
Ezra Pound
And New York is the most beautiful city in the world? It is not far from it. No urban night is like the night there... Squares after squares of flame, set up and cut into the aether. Here is our poetry, for we have pulled down the stars to our will.
Ezra Pound
Learn of the green world what can be thy place In scaled invention or true artistry
Ezra Pound
The book shd. be a ball of light in one's hand.
Ezra Pound
With one day's reading a man may have the key in his hands.
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
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
Wars in old times were made to get slaves. The modern implement of imposing slavery is debt.
Ezra Pound
It ought to be illegal for an artist to marry. If the artist must marry let him find someone more interested in art, or his art, or the artist part of him, than in him. After which let them take tea together three times a week.
Ezra Pound
A slave is one who waits for someone to come and free him.
Ezra Pound
Bureaucrats are a pox. They are supposed to be necessary. Certain chemicals in the body are supposed to be necessary to life, but cause death the moment they increase beyond a suitable limit
Ezra Pound
Don't be blinded by the theorists and a lying press.
Ezra Pound
Be not cheap or mediocre in desiring.
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
Go to the adolescent who are smothered in family-- Oh how hideous it is To see three generations of one house gathered together! It is like an old tree with shoots, And with some branches rotted and falling.
Ezra Pound
Genius... is the capacity to see ten things where the ordinary man sees one.
Ezra Pound
install me in any profession Save this damn'd profession of writing, where one needs one's brains all the time.
