"Hugh Selwyn Mauberley" by Ezra Pound
IV
These fought, in any case,
and some believing, pro domo, in any case..
Some quick to arm,
some for adventure,
some from fear of weakness,
some from fear of censure,
some for love of slaughter, in imagination,
learning later. . .some in fear, learning love of slaughter;
Died some pro patria, non dulce non et decor". .walked eye-deep in hell
believing in old men's lies, then unbelieving
came home, home to a lie,
home to many deceits,
home to old lies and new infamy;usury age-old and age-thick
and liars in public places.Daring as never before, wastage as never before.
Young blood and high blood,
Fair cheeks, and fine bodies;fortitude as never before
frankness as never before,
disillusions as never told in the old days,
hysterias, trench confessions,
laughter out of dead bellies. -

The multilingual textures in Ezra Pound’s poetry emerge from a deliberate fusion of languages, histories, and cultural voices, creating a layered poetic form that challenges readers to engage across linguistic and temporal boundaries

Ezra Pound fragments narrative continuity because he perceives continuity itself as suspect in a modern world marked by rupture and complexity.

'When there is a danger of abundance of any, or almost all, commodities, then the usurocracy unleashes a war in order to diminish purchasing-power.'

Ezra Pound shaped literary networks and mentorship through an extraordinary combination of vision, energy, and influence. By viewing literature as a collaborative enterprise, he positioned himself at the center of a dynamic web of writers, editors, and artists.

A radiant node or cluster... from which, and through which, and into which, ideas are constantly rushing.

"Fragmentary #Modernism" by Nora Goldschmidt asks: how did #ModernistLiterature & #VisualCulture engage with classical fragments (incl #EzraPound, #TSEliot, #HildaDoolittle, #RichardAldington, #JacobEpstein & #HenriGaudier-Brzeska) & shape our reception of #ClassicalAntiquity until today?

Il #30ottobre 1885 nasceva Ezra Pound.
Un articolo #OpenAccess di #Enthymema illustra come il #poeta statunitense sia stato influenzato dall'#esoterismo dantesco attraverso la rilettura nell'#Ottocento di #GabrieleRossetti. Questo dialogo tra #Medioevo e #Novecento viene qui presentato attraverso lo scambio epistolare tra #Pound e la nipote di #Rossetti, Olivia Rossetti Agresti. -

Is there anything worth reading in Pound's Cantos? If so, I haven't found it yet.
It seems he was a pompous a*hole who conned people into thinking his erudition was a form of art, when it was really the death of art. The lack of art or beauty in a world of stale, lifeless ideas.

“Every time I look down on this timeless town
Whether blue or gray be her skies
Whether loud be her cheers
Or whether soft be her tears
More and more do I realize that...I love Paris in the spring time
I love Paris in the fall…”The weather here in early November is varied and changeable. I have missed the heavy rain by luck. This sun on autumn leaves made me smile. It also reminded me of the transience of life…

Piece on the fascist legacy of Ezra Pound:
https://thingsinvisible.substack.com/p/notes-from-the-bughouse-2c8
#fascism #WWII #neofascist #EzraPound -
Honestly, if anyone wants to understand #EzraPound and unravel how a #poet becomes a fascist, all they need to read is his book, ABC of Reading. His illustrious ego is made quite clear. Brilliant, yes, but certainly he was never as brilliant as he imagined himself to be. One can only imagine it must have been a mighty internal struggle of an inferiority complex layered over a superiority complex.

Since I was a teenager I've adored Ezra Pound's love poem "The River-Merchant's Wife: A Letter," after Li Po.
In later years I've been more aware of how — given the challenges of translation and the difficulty of any Westerner's seeing Chinese culture straight — unlikely it is that a Chinese scholar would find much to admire in the poem.
Do you care to comment?
