Ezra Pound Reading Canto LXXXI
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 . . .

Little Gidding IV The dove descending breaks the air With flame of incandescent terror Of which the tongues declare The one dischage from sin and error. The only hope, or else despair Lies in the choice of pyre of pyre- To be redeemed from fire by fire. Who then devised the torment? Love. Love is the unfamiliar Name Behind the hands that wove The intolerable shirt of flame Which human power can...
America's Greatest Poet.
Grande!!!
This ain't LXXXI in my editions.
“Usura slayeth the child in the womb It stayeth the young man’s courting It hath brought palsey to bed, lyeth between the young bride and her bridegroom CONTRA NATURAM They have brought whores for Eleusis Corpses are set to banquet at behest of usura.” Rest In Peace, dear Ezra. Your contributions won’t be forgotten.
“Ant’s a centaur in his dragon world Pull down thy vanity”
Everlasting Ezra Pound & Julius EVOLA forever in our hearts!..
god forbid
Evola actually admited he did not understand anything about Pound poems at all lol,
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.
America's greatest pure poet ... the ending is the cemetery in Venice, where he is buried. Americans! Go pay your respects ...
Quello che ha passato , questo grande uomo..!!!!
"Brilliant man"
sem fim
What's with the Scottish accent?
You cut out the best part - the fade into Brian enos another green world
Pound... IMMENSO ❤️
when was this recorded?
his canto claws was good
*_HE WAS MY GREAT GRANDFATHER._*
its sick its piss its revolting its insulting
I am a distant paternal relative of Ezra, greetings cousin!
Must be an honor to belong to that family.
He was a great nazi
i wonder what ezra would have thought about ypur all caps
Amazing.
My relationship with Pound is the reverse of most people's: I wholeheartedly sympathise with his politics, but--with very few exceptions--can't stand his poetry.
Dangerous Thinker Alert
Fascists don't tend to make great artists.. Not surprising.
@@rappakalja5295 literally every single great pre war writer was some kind of a fascist sympathizer or monarchist
@@Abhishek-fe3zs Conrad? Nope. Joyce? Nope. James? Nope. Hardy? Nope. Shaw? Nope. Lawrence? Nope. Hesse? Mann? Nope. Wells? Nope. Döblin? Nope. Gide? Nope. Woolf? Nope. All the above are great pre-WW1 writers from the top of my head yet none of them were symphatetic towards fascism or monarchism.
@@rappakalja5295 Lawrence? Actually Yes. Eliot? Yes. Celine? Yes. Wyndham Lewis? Yes. Fitzgerald? Yes. Yeats? A philo fascist certainly. Wells? Not a great writer but a harmless racist and anti semite. Also your opinion that Pound was not a great writer is not a popular opinion. Many academics consider him one of the best poets of the 20th century. Edit - wasn't Junger also kind of a fascist? I know he was not a nazi but eh...
he sounds so Irish ?? crazy.
Sounds more Scottish to me
12th century Provence poetry am I right?
Beautiful. Does anyone know who Paquin is by any chance?
a French fashion designer of the day
Read Hugh Kenner's The Pound Era.
hey, looks like my grandpa!
Reference to Wilfrid Scawen Blunt at 2:09. This Victorian poet Pound had a profound admiration for as he was trying meet as many eminent Victorians still alive by the early 1910s. They along with Yeats, Richard Aldington and three other poets famously had a peacock lunch at Blunt's estate in West Sussex on January 18 1914.
Yes, I fear today's students would interpret 'a blunt' somewhat differently
@@Cleisthenes2 I understand what you mean but I think any reasonable English teacher would get their students to look into the backstory of a poem. Yet again we are living in an age where Fifty Shades of Grey can make it onto the NY bestsellers list
Pound came from Idaho. So what the hell is THAT accent?
It is an East Coast 'Brahmin' accent since EP descended from Philadelphia and Manhattan stock. Homer Pound was assigned to assay the new silver coinage being produced in Western mines and EP was born in Hailey. But when still an infant he was taken back to Chester PA and NYC where he grew up/was educated.
Sounds Irish
It sounds like the studio accent that was taught to actors and actresses in Hollywood when they wanted to market their films to a British audience in addition to the American audience. It was called Mid-Atlantic English
@@badhairdye Correct.
@@Pantano63 thank you.
Pound: unbroken, genius, unfathomable, one in a hundred million, utterly inspiring....moving...
And unfortunately fascist
@@bsku0765 'pull down thy facistry!' :P
@@bsku0765 You don't know what fascism is
@@TheFaithfulRedeemer Uh... why?
@@TheFaithfulRedeemer Pound certainly did unfortunately
Il migglior fabbro.
"Miglior"
@@deddth .."miglior"
Pound had an incredible sense of rythm.
Rhythm must have meaning
Well he is a poet after all
And not a whiff of alliteration or rhyme here
A poets poet.
The high time of the human race
Great poet, he was truly a brilliant visionary.
A poet. A man. Resisted the usury kind.
And definitely paid for his brevity and thought. An amazing man.

nice diagram
So I intend to use this in a memorial to my grandfather who was in Italy and fought there. He moved to canada afterwords and became a gardner. I cannot think of a more fitting tribute. I had not even thought of the word in question since I know what it means. But now I dont know if I have to censor it. I cannot imagine changing a poem of such richness because it has a homonym of a word that is obviously much more unfortunate. Any thoughts?
I dont like this reading much actually. It's a magnificent excerpt and also accessible. But if you read this outside yourself Im certain you will find more rhythm, music and substance in it.
e poi non era matto
...un po'
Amazing... I wonder is there a version of this anywhere without the audio cuts?
Majestic---just about his best. "Pull down thy vanity...."
Immortal Poet.
It's always interesting to hear a poet's own voice. A bit surprising, though, that Pound, who was an advocate of verse as song as much as speech, seems to speak in a rather affectless monotone? Or... now that I look at the attribution: is this really Pound himself? There is much falsity on the web.
It's definitely him. Listen to some of his other recordings clearly the same voice
It is Pound. He used a rhetorical delivery, emphasising the length of vowels.
He was Very old when he made this recording
Para mi el mejor poeta del siglo xx
Despise this old windbag
“Pay no attention to the criticism of men who have never themselves written a notable work. --Ezra Pound” ― Ezra Pound
Drena Chrome “The big Jew has rotted EVERY nation he has wormed himself into” - Ezra Pound
@@MadHatter42 is he wrong?
I mean, Pound WAS an old windbag. Even his most loving supporters can't deny that the guy had an ego the size of Texas. And he DID do a lot of despicable, fascist, racist things. If you love him, fine, I get it. But you can't deny he had quite a few reasonably unlikable things about him as well. I was just trying to point out how, just because Pound said something, doesn't mean it's true.
@@MadHatter42 Why should a man be spat on for speaking fact?
He saw the artist work.
Great, great man!
"The ant's a centaur in his dragon world."
Yep, that's the line right there.
@@MrGunwitch Testify.
Charles Bukowski brought me here.
ALL CAPS Well, we met again
How?
ew.
Which book?
I had this poem up on the wall when i taught A stream juniors in 1964
Barry Tebb i have it on the wall by my bed. this poem does not wear out
This is not vanity
AMAZING.............
