More quotes by Ezra Pound
America, my country, is almost a continent and hardly yet a nation.
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
Democracy is now currently defined in Europe as a 'country run by Jews,'
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
Artists are the antennae of the race.
Ezra Pound
What thou lovest well remains.
Ezra Pound
You have been second always. Tragical? No. You preferred it to the usual thing: One dull man, dulling and uxorious, One average mind- with one thought less, each year.
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
The artist is the antenna of the race.
Ezra Pound
Glance is the enemy of vision.
Ezra Pound
USURY is the cancer of the world, which only the surgeon’s knife of Fascism can cut out of the life of the nations.
Ezra Pound
Liberty is not a right but a duty.
Ezra Pound
Poetry must be as well written as prose.
Ezra Pound
There are few things more difficult than to appraise the work of a man suddenly dead in his youth to disentangle promise from achievement to save him from that sentimentalizing which confuses the tragedy of the interruption with the merit of the work actually performed.
Ezra Pound
Pay no attention to the criticism of men who have never themselves written a notable work.
Ezra Pound
A real building is one on which the eye can light and stay lit.
Ezra Pound
The curse of me and my nation is that we always think things can be bettered by immediate action of some sort, any sort rather than no sort.
Ezra Pound
Genius... is the capacity to see ten things where the ordinary man sees one.
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
small talk comes from small bones
