Famous quotes containing the words ezra pound, pound and/or italy:

    I
    Am here a Poet, that doth drink of life
    As lesser men drink wine.
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    I ask a wreathwhich will not crush my head.
    And there is no hurry about it;
    I shall have, doubtless, a boom after my funeral,
    Seeing that long standing increases all things
    regardless of quality.
    —Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    For us to go to Italy and to penetrate into Italy is like a most fascinating act of self-discovery—back, back down the old ways of time. Strange and wonderful chords awake in us, and vibrate again after many hundreds of years of complete forgetfulness.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
