Dearest creature in Creation,
Studying English pronunciation,
I will teach you in my verse
Sounds like corpse, corps, horse and worse.

It will keep you, Susy, busy,
Make your head with heat grow dizzy;
Tear in eye your dress you'll tear.
So shall I! Oh, hear my prayer,

Pray, console your loving poet,
Make my coat look new, dear, sew it?
Just compare heart, beard and heard,
Dies and diet, lord and word,

Sword and sward, retain and Britain,
(Mind the latter, how it's written!)
Made has not the sound of bade,
Say—said, pay—paid, laid, but plaid.

Now I surely will not plague you
With such words as vague and ague,
But be careful how you speak,
Say break, steak, but bleak and streak,

Previous, precious; fuchsia, via;
Pipe, snipe, recipe and choir,
Cloven, oven; how and low;
Script, receipt; shoe, poem, toe,

[...]

Finally: which rimes with "enough,"
Though, through, plough, cough, hough, or tough?
Hiccough has the sound of "cup"......
My advice is—give it up!

Reading is foremostly a productive act, not merely a receptive act. Your concern should always be on the quality of your reading and let quantity be what it is. One great reading of one great book is worth more than the banal ability to recall a thousand

He was right to. Pounds work is nothing but an immitation of poetry. He had practically no thoughts or emotions in his entire ouvre, likely from the fact he never had any in his head.

His kitsch reliance on "mathematizing" and other abstract language games serve only as his hiding place, where complexity is mistaken for quality by those who have no ability to comprehend the latter.

I have no qualms saying Pound is by far the worst writer in the entire history of the canon when contrasted by his reputation.

Oh dear.

At its most reductionistic basis which can be described as material which increases our understanding of reality it clearly is not. I am capable of being able to understand more about the patterns and structures of my angst by a careful reading of Hamlet or Kierkegaard than I am from playing Mass Effect Andromeda or smoking weed and watching Adventure Time.
You're free of course to attempt deny this as I'm not interested in having to go through the rigmarole of developing a proof of this concretely

Compromise means you think your limited wikipedia synopsis understanding of writers gives you even a half a right to post here. Again if you can't comprehend basic words I suggest you return to your home board where such things aren't important.
