I've always felt a strange fascination with Ezra Pound. Since I knew him many years ago that Eliot's dedication of his poem made him The t ierra Baldi a, since I met shortly after his invaluable responsibility in the final aspect of this crucial work in contemporary literature, I sense for Pound, the miglior fabbro the dedication, a fascination that has hardly improved over the years. With Ezra Pound, poet often categorized as cryptic and complex, I believe that is the case that almost everyone knows but few have read. They say many of the latter, perhaps the best, a poet of influence that impose his own work. And they may not be right. Even Eliot went on to say that the more satisfied he was of his own poems, I could not help but recognize there is always the echo of the teacher. Eliot But not only experienced first hand his devilish influence. Also Yeats, who was secretary to come to UK, or Windham Lewis or Robert Frost ... A James Joyce, whose genius was convinced long before anyone knew him, he encouraged the publication of his early works and his Ulises Only thus already had enough of course to win a privileged place in the history of world literature. It is said, was drive lierarias over fifty magazines of the time. Also announced to William Carlos Williams, Rabindranat Tagore, Marianne Moore ... He left U.S. in 1912, and walking around London for this time of turmoil, that looks extravagant and provocative Turkish hoops in her ears, flaming red hair and green corduroy jacket, he decided to found the vortex and actively participate in the imaginative, two avant-garde movements more belligerent with prevailing stagnant and goofy poetry, and precursors both largely typographical games of their publications, which led to another after the graphic design. In his time he was a friend of Marcel Paris Duchamp, Tristan Tzara, Fernand Leger, Ernest Hemingway, Gertrude Stein ...
theorized and configured and driven the use of free verse, the best free verse as we know it today, introduced in the poetic spectrum the everyday and the simple and natural things, which now may not surprise us too much but that was a real revolution in its day, we need only think of Eliot again and check everything organized with their cats, their ladies and afternoon tea. From it came airs, like the so often assumed blurring of boundaries between poetry and prose. He
Pound an encyclopedic culture. Fluent in several languages, including Chinese, Japanese or Arabic, which allowed him to also introduce our western culture the best of oriental literature. Translated and released as well, and knew more about them than the Italians themselves, the Provencal lyric poets, whose language considered poetic language par excellence in which he came to write some of his poems. And also pioneered the use quotes in other languages \u200b\u200bwithin their own poems, arguing that what had been written precisely in a language not need a translation into another, an attitude that may not be too weird after sonarnos so many years after it was implemented.
They also say that one of his biggest obsessions was to teach all always looking for writers to write the highest degree of perfection so that through them the cultural and sensitivity of all the inhabitants of this planet will rise to create a society of wise and capable, able to understand him, according to gossip, and he could not help intellectually considered above all. But this did not stop to worry until exhaustion of all the artists around him, whether or elves budding geniuses. The recommended usual, we defrayed editions of his works, organizing exhibitions for painters or concerts for musicians who he thought worthy of attention, even paid, they say, do not know, many of their bills to the needy, the sick were attended when accompanied them at his funeral.
precisely this anxiety for their peers and that economic evolution is attributed to have much to do with his theories about usury he felt triumphant Western society and the reason for all evils, which would finally ruin with it if it is not imposed brake. We have seen that no, that is so smugly. But interest in Economics was another of the obsessions Pound, but most, yes of course the same level as his artistic interests, and his theories about it after that would be brought down in disgrace and probably the silencing and the tragedy that became the existence of a major human and literary figures of the twentieth century after the Second World War.
XLV In the song of his seminal work The songs, performed Pound (Mr. Pound, paradoxically) a wonderful argument against usury
WEAR WITH
With usury no man has a good stone house
well polished Each block embedded
For the drawing can cover your face,
With usury
No man has a paradise painted on the wall of his church
Harper et Lutes
where virgin receive message
and halo projects from incision,
with interest
no man sees Gonzaga his heirs and his concubines
no painting is made to last and to live with her
but is made to sell and sell soon
with usury, a sin against nature,
your bread is becoming rags
is thy bread dry as paper,
mountain without wheat flour or strong
with interest the line is thick
with no clear demarcaciónn usury
and no man can find site for his dwelling.
The stone carver is removed from its stone,
Weaver away from his loom
TO WEAR
wool market is not
The sheep does not gain through usury
Usury is a homesick, usury
dent the needle into the hand of the maiden
and stops the ability of the spinner. Pietro Lombardo
no usury came
Duccio came not by usury
Ni Pier Della Francesca; Zuan not usury Bellin
nor was "Smear "painted.
Angelico did not come by usury; not come Praedis Ambrogio,
any church did not come polished stone signed:
Adamo fecit me
St. Trophine usury Not
usury Not Saint Hilaire,
Usury ensarra chisel
Ensarra art and craft
Roe the distaff
No learn to embroider gold in its frame;
Azure has a canker by usury, the cramoisi is not embroidered
Emerald not find your Henling
Usury kills the child in the womb
Prevents boy wooing
has brought paralysis to the bed, lies
between the bride and the bridegroom
AGAINST NATURA
have brought whores for Eleusis
Corpses have sat at the banquet
guests by usury.
I think Ezra Pound certainly an admirable, not only literally, and this despite the nasty ideological baggage that has been endorsed, which we'll talk soon.
