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

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 274 quotes

Yet the companions of the Muses will keep their collective nose in my books And weary with historical data, they will turn to my dance tune.

Ezra Pound 274 quotes

You have been second always. ...

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.

Usura slayeth the child in the womb It stayeth the young man's courting It hath brought palsey to bed, lyeth between the young bride and her bridegroom

Ezra Pound 274 quotes

The Garden En robe de parade....

The Garden En robe de parade. - Samain Like a skein of loose silk blown against a wall She walks by the railing of a path in Kensington Gardens, And she is dying piece-meal of a sort of emotional anaemia. And round about there is a rabble Of the filthy, sturdy, unkillable infants of the very poor. They shall inherit the earth. In her is the end of breeding. Her boredom is exquisite and excessive. She would like some one to speak to her, And is almost afraid that I will commit that indiscretion.

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

Poetry is about as much a 'criticism of life' as red-hot iron is a criticism of fire.

I once saw a small child go to an electric light switch as say, Mamma, can I open the light? She was using the age-old language of exploration, the language of art.

Ezra Pound 274 quotes

Fit for kings, formal gardens afford an earthly Elysium and the odd impression that we mere men might actually control nature for a time.

Ezra Pound 274 quotes

It is better to present one image in a lifetime than to produce voluminous work. Image...that which presents an intellectual and emotional complex in an instant of time.

Ezra Pound 274 quotes

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.

There is no topicmore soporific and generally boring than the topic of Ireland as Ireland, as a nation.

install me in any profession Save this damn'd profession of writing, where one needs one's brains all the time.

Ezra Pound 274 quotes

'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

See, they return; ah, see the...

See, they return; ah, see the tentative Movements, and the slow feet, The trouble in the pace and the uncertain Wavering! See, they return, one, and by one, With fear, as half-awakened; As if the snow should hesitate And murmur in the wind, and half turn back.

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

The intellect is a very nice whirligig toy, but how people take it seriously is more than I can understand.

Ezra Pound 274 quotes

I should consent to breed under pressure, if I were convinced in any way of the reasonableness of reproducing the species. But my nerves and the nerves of any woman I could live with three months, would produce only a victim... lacking in impulse, a mere bundle of discriminations. If I were wealthy I might subsidize a stud of young peasants, or a tribal group in Tahiti.

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