Ezra Pound Quotes:
Ocupation: Poet
Life: October 30, 1885 - November 1, 1972
Birthday: October 30
Death: November 1
The author's conviction on this day of New Year is that music begins to atrophy when it departs too far from the dance; that 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.
