“Exquisite loneliness
Bound of mine own caprice
I fly on the wings of an unknown chord
That ye hear not,
Can not discern
My music is weird and untamed
Barbarous, wild, extreme,
I fly on the note that ye hear not
On the chord that ye can not dream.
— Ezra Pound, from “Anima Sola,” Collected Early Poems (New Directions, 1976)”

“Post Mortem Conspectu”
A brown, fat babe sitting in the lotus,
And you were glad and laughing
With a laughter not of this world.
It is good to splash in the water
And laughter is the end of all things.”

“I resolved that at 30 I would know more about poetry than any man living,
that I would know what was accounted poetry everywhere, what part of poetry
was "indestructible," what part could not be lost by translation and—scarcely less
important—what effects were obtainable in one language only and were utterly
incapable of being translated.”
