Ezra Pound (inglese)

In the rise of experimentalism Pound was in full evolution. Pound's works were the superb fruit of an omnicomprehensive view of art implying a sense of time which no longer characterizes our perception of the world. The Cantos are epics which stands comparison in lenght with any poems of the past and excels them in that as well. They are contemporary, too, because they have the appearance of drifting fragments; but they aren't moments withoth cohesion, they are inspired flashes of visions. The Cantos are ancient and modern at the same time: it's a classic. In 1912 Pound and other English and Americam intellectuals formed a movement called Imagist. In 1913 they published a manifesto with 6 points: 1-To use a language of common speech, but to employ always the exact word. 2-To create new rhytms. 3-To allow freedom in the choice of subject. 4-To present an image. 5-Poetry hard and clear. 6-Concentration is the essence of poetry. Pound's cultural interests depend on the study of stilnovisti, Dante and Confucius.The study of Chinese was having a great sway Pound's opinion about the use of words and on his concept of style. Pound uses a symbolic, allusive language and he speaks about the depths of the psyche, often dark. In 1914 Pound published the review Blast in which he theorized a new way of writing called Vorticism. It's founded on the visual potency of three dimension of sculpture. Pound makes sculpture the paragon of aesthetics, as the word vortex recalls what he defines "the appreciation of masses in relation" as being proper to sculptural feelings. Pound thought to use an impasto of several languages. Foreign words are like symbols echoing concepts and feelings. This thing creates an effect of impersonality, fundamental tenet of the new poetry, a reaction against the vague lines of the Romanticism.

POUND AS AN ECONOMIST

Pound held that economics should not mainly study the interplay of classes but the function of money in the modern financial world, just what we see today. He wrote erudite articles on the enormous pecuniary advantages The Federal Bank took in lending money at high rates of interest and in printing money which had no correspondant value. Pound's economic thought is founded on the idea that the speculation on money practised by agencies that accumulate capital making it circulate at a rate of interest too high and tends to create other capital which becomes such a powerful means of exploitation that not eve states can control it. Pound's adherence to Fascism rises from belief in an ethical state able to regulate capital and enterprise with the work of people in what is really worth as an equivalent of goods. Whatever is lucrative beyond this equilibrium is usury. Pound warns us of the danger of saving in order to create capital to pruduce only more money.
