More From Ezra Pound

Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and cheer and give strength to body and soul alike. this natural beauty-hunger is made manifest in the little window-sill gardens of the poor, though perhaps only a geranium slip in a broken cup, as well as in the carefully tended rose and lily gardens of the rich, the thousands of spacious city parks and botanical gardens, and in our magnificent national parks — the yellowstone, yosemite, sequoia, etc. — nature's sublime wonderlands, the admiration and joy of the world.
Beauty Nature Cheer
To love you as i should, i must worship god as creator. when i have learnt to love god better than my earthly dearest, i shall love my earthly dearest better than i do now. in so far as i learn to love my earthly dearest at the expense of god and instead of god, i shall be moving towards the state in which i shall not love my earthly dearest t all. when first things are put first, second things are not suppressed bu increased.
Moving Love You Firsts
I loathe gardening, but i love gardens, and i have two beautiful gardens. i can not bear gardening, but i love gardens.

... if we take the universe of 'fitting,' countless coats 'fit' backs, and countless boots 'fit' feet, on which they are not practically fitted; countless stones 'fit' gaps in walls into which no one seeks to fit them actually. in the same way countless opinions 'fit' realities, and countless truths are valid, tho no thinker ever thinks them.
Wall Truth Reality
Must love be ever treated with profaneness as a mere illusion? or with coarseness as a mere impulse? or with fear as a mere disease? or with shame as a mere weakness? or with levity as a mere accident? whereas it is a great mystery and a great necessity, lying at the foundation of human existence, morality, and happiness,--mysterious, universal, inevitable as death.
Love Lying Disease
Generations of women have sacrificed their lives to become their mothers. but we do not have that luxury any more. the world has changed too much to let us have the lives our mothers had. and we can no longer afford the guilt we feel at not being our mothers. we cannot afford any guilt that pulls us back to the past. we have to grow up, whether we want to or not. we have to stop blaming men and mothers and seize every second of our lives with passion. we can no longer afford to waste our creativity. we cannot afford spiritual laziness.
