Went down the list of the dead.
Officers, seamen, gunners, marines,
The crews of the gig and yawl,

Carpenters, coal-passers—all.”

Bach and Mozart are never too far from physical movement.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
“But how is one to make a scientist understand that there is something unalterably deranged about differential calculus, quantum theory, or the obscene and so inanely liturgical ordeals of the precession of the equinoxes.”
