"Gloom and solemnity are entirely out of place in even the most rigorous study of an art originally intended to make glad the heart of man." – Ezra Pound

>oh no he criticized the Rothschilds and ursury what an evil anti-Semite!
Is there any author more underrated for political reasons than Ezra Pound?

>Consider the way of the scientists rather than the way of an advertising agent for a new soap.

>The scientist does not expect to be acclaimed as a great scientist until he has discovered something. He begins by learning what has been discovered already. He goes from that point onward. He does not bank on being a charming fellow personally. He does not expect his friends to applaud the results of his freshman class work. Freshmen in poetry are unfortunately not confined to a definite and recognizable class room. They are “all over the shop.” Is it any wonder “the public is indifferent to poetry?”
