'Tis not need we know our ever...

'Tis not need we know our every thought Or see the work shop where each mask is wrought Wherefrom we view the world of box and pit, Careless of wear, just so the mask shall fit And serve our jape's turn for a night or two.

Ezra Pound 274 quotes

The flavors of the peach and t...

The flavors of the peach and the apricot are not lost from generation to generation, neither are they transmitted by book learning. The mystic tradition, any mystic tradition, is of a similar nature, that is, it is dependent on direct perception, a 'knowledge' as permanent as the faculty for receiving it.

From the colour the nature And by the nature the sign! Beatific spirits welding together As in one ash-tree in Ygdrasail.

Ezra Pound 274 quotes

We live in an age of science a...

We live in an age of science and of abundance. The care and reverence for books as such, proper to an age when no book was duplicated until someone took the pains to copy it out by hand, is obviously no longer suited to 'the needs of society', or to the conservation of learning. The weeder is supremely needed if the Garden of the Muses is to persist as a garden.

Ezra Pound 274 quotes

Science is unpoetic only to minds jaundiced with sentiment and romanticism . . . the great masters of the past boasted all they could of it and found it magical.

Ezra Pound 274 quotes

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.

Artists are the antennae of the race.

Ezra Pound 274 quotes

To say that a state cannot pur...

To say that a state cannot pursue its aims because there is no money, is like saying that an engineer cannot build roads, because there are no kilometers.

A little light, like a rushlight / to lead back to splendour.

As for literature It gives no man a sinecure. And no one knows, at sight, a masterpiece. And give up verse, my boy, There's nothing in it.

Ezra Pound 274 quotes

Objectivity and again objectiv...

Objectivity and again objectivity, and expression: no hindside-before-ness, no straddled adjectives (as 'addled mosses dank'), no Tennysonianness of speech; nothing-nothing that you couldn't, in some circumstance, in the stress of some emotion, actually say.

Ezra Pound 274 quotes

Pay no attention to the criticism of men who have never themselves written a notable work.

Ezra Pound 274 quotes

Almost any fool can paint an academy picture, and any imbecile can shoot off a Kodak.

America, my country, is almost a continent and hardly yet a nation.

The flavors of the peach and the apricot are not lost from generation to generation. Neither are they transmitted by book learning.

Ezra Pound 274 quotes

The man of understanding can no more sit quiet and resigned while his country lets its literature decay, and lets good writing meet with contempt, than a good doctor could sit quiet and contented while some ignorant child was infecting itself with tuberculosis under the impression that it was merely eating jam tarts.

I did not enter into silence. Silence captured me.

With Usura With usura hath no man a house of good stone each block cut smooth and well fitting.
