Seems like you're on the wrong board. Otherwise, I sure would have posted a rapidshare link.

buy the book, nigger, or google the shorter essay. it has it all
summarised:
take this 1880s london poem:
God save great Cunt, our Queen,
Let her throne be between
Sweet woman's thighs!

And may the curling hair,
Gracefully clustering there,
Man's pego still ensnare,
Until he dies!
poetry is
1.pictures. depends on what kind of pictures you haev in ur mind and what feelings they give you. here we have the queen victoria and the then mystical, sweet and dirty cunt. it's pictshurpoeia
2.the sound of it: alliterations, assonances etc. the way it sounds. its melopoeia
3.the feelings and associations generated.
depends on the locutors state of minds. the respect for monarchs and the disrespect to cunts is not quite the same unless you are a saudi arab. it is mythopeia
there's nothing more to pound's theory
