An ABC of Reading
Words to ponder from Ezra Pounds, ABC of Reading:
Gloom and solemnity are entirely out of place in even the most rigorous study of an art originally intended to make glad the heart of man.
AND
...music begins to atrophy when it departs too far from the dance;...poetry begins to atrophy when it gets too far from music; but this must not be taken as implying that all good music is dance music or all poetry lyric. Bach and Mozart are never too far from physical movement.
Ho hum.
