June 21, 2025

I don’t have any great notion about where I stand as a poet. That will be taken care of by those wiser people who come later on the scene than we do. Thus, as in their turn, those opinions too will be revalued over and over. None of us knows in what direction poetry and those other arts will turn — that’s part of the cruel fascination of being interested in the arts as you are, and keeping your head about it.

Thought:

“Who calls me idle? I have thought of her.
Who calls me idle? By God’s truth I’ve seen
The arrowy sunlight in her golden snares.”

Ezra Pound | “Sonnet”
