April is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.

- T. S. Eliot -

Ezra Pound 130th Anniversary

Ezra Pound, 1913 
by Alvin Langdon Coburn (detail) 



I have tried to write Paradise 

Do not move 
             Let the wind speak
                     that is paradise. 

Let the Gods forgive what I 
                    have made 
Let those I love try to forgive 
                     what I have made. 

- Ezra Pound - 
from Canto CXX 

October 30, 1885 – November 1, 1972
