- What thou lovest well remains,
the rest is dross
What thou lov’st well shall not be reft from thee
What thou lov’st well is thy true heritage
Whose world, or mine or theirs
or is it of none?
First came the seen, then thus the palpable
Elysium, though it were in the halls of hell,
What thou lovest well is thy true heritage
What thou lov’st well shall not be reft from thee
The ant’s a centaur in his dragon world.
Pull down thy vanity, it is not man
Made courage, or made order, or made grace,
Pull down thy vanity, I say pull down.
Learn of the green world what can be thy place
In scaled invention or true artistry,
Pull down thy vanity,
Paquin pull down!
The green casque has outdone your elegance.
“Master thyself, then others shall thee beare”
Pull down thy vanity
Thou art a beaten dog beneath the hail,
A swollen magpie in a fitful sun,
Half black half white
Nor knowst’ou wing from tail
Pull down thy vanity
How mean thy hates
Fostered in falsity,
Pull down thy vanity,
Rathe to destroy, niggard in charity,
Pull down thy vanity,
I say pull down.
But to have done instead of not doing
this is not vanity
To have, with decency, knocked
That a Blunt should open
To have gathered from the air a live tradition
or from a fine old eye the unconquered flame
This is not vanity.
Here error is all in the not done,
all in the diffidence that faltered . . .

HE WAS MY GREAT GRANDFATHER.
"The ant's a centaur in his dragon world."
Pound had an incredible sense of rythm.
Pound: unbroken, genius, unfathomable, one in a hundred million, utterly inspiring....moving...
A poet. A man. Resisted the usury kind.
He was considered crazy for exposing the Federal Reserve
A poets poet.
Amazing... I wonder is there a version of this anywhere without the audio cuts?
I had this poem up on the wall when i taught A stream juniors in 1964
This is not vanity
Everlasting Ezra Pound & Julius EVOLA forever in our hearts!..
The video is highly emotional,his voice goes straight to one's heart. A towering figure in literature,in spite of those subpar who tried to clip his wings.

Quello che ha passato , questo grande uomo..!!!!
Great poet, he was truly a brilliant visionary.
America's greatest pure poet ... the ending is the cemetery in Venice, where he is buried. Americans! Go pay your respects ...
Para mi el mejor poeta del siglo xx
