Seems fairly clear that you fix a breed by LIMITING the amount of alien infiltration. You make a race by homogeneity and by avoiding INbreeding.... No argument has ever been sprouted against it. You like it in dogs and horses.

Haie! Haie! These were the swift to harry These the keen-scented These were the souls of blood. Slow on the leash, pallid the leash-men!
Ezra Pound
Technique is the test of sincerity.
Ezra Pound
No good poetry is ever written in a manner twenty years old, for to write in such a manner shows conclusively that the writer thinks from books, convention and cliché, not from real life.
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 difference between a gun and a tree is a difference of tempo. The tree explodes every spring.
Ezra Pound
Good art however 'immoral' is wholly a thing of virtue. Good art can NOT be immoral. By good art I mean art that bears true witness, I mean the art that is most precise.
Ezra Pound
I guess the definition of a lunatic is a man surrounded by them.
Ezra Pound

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
small talk comes from small bones
Ezra Pound
The serious artist must be as open as nature. Nature does not give all of herself in a paragraph. She is rugged and not set apart into discreet categories.
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
Poetry must be as well written as prose.
Ezra Pound
The ant's a centaur in his dragon world. Pull down thy vanity, it is not man Made courage, or made order, or made grace, Pull down thy vanity, I say pull down. Learn of the green world what can be thy place In scaled invention or true artistry, Pull down thy vanity, Paquin pull down! The green casque has outdone your elegance.
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
The natural object is always the adequate symbol.
Ezra Pound
And in the mean time my songs will travel, And the devirginated young ladies will enjoy them when they have got over the strangeness
Ezra Pound
Be not cheap or mediocre in desiring.
