Pound

Famous quotes containing the word pound:

    Genius ... is the capacity to see ten things where the ordinary man sees one, and where the man of talent sees two or three, plus the ability to register that multiple perception in the material of his art.
    —Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    There is little premium in poetry in a world that thinks of Pound and Whitman as a weight and a sampler, not an Ezra, a Walt, a thing of beauty, a joy forever.

    As white their bark, so white this lady’s hours.
