More From Ezra Pound

What is an "instant" death anyway? how long is an instant? is it one second? ten? the pain of those seconds must have been awful as her heart burst and her lungs collapsed and there was no air and no blood to her brain and only raw panic. what the hell is instant? nothing is instant. instant rice takes five minutes, instant pudding an hour. i doubt that an instant of blinding pain feels particularly instantaneous.
Pain Real Heart
There sure are a lot of these 'instant' products on the market. instant coffee, instant tea, instant pudding, instant cereal... instant dislike.

Real danger is nothing more than just living. of course, living is merely the chaos of existence, but more than that it's a crazy mixed-up business of dismantling existence instant by instant to the point where the original chaos is restored, and taking strength from the uncertainty and the fear that chaos brings to re-create existence instant by instant. you won't find another job as dangerous as that. there isn't any fear in existence itself, or any uncertainty, but living creates it.

The intellectual is not defined by professional group and type of occupation. nor are good upbringing and a good family enough in themselves to produce an intellectual. an intellectual is a person whose interest in and preoccupation with the spiritual side of life are insistent and constant and not forced by external circumstances, even flying in the face of them. an intellectual is a person whose thought is nonimitative.

A god who draws near out of love, the holy father continued, walks with his people, and this walk comes to an unimaginable point. we could never have imagined that the same lord would become one of us and walk with us, be present with us, present in his church, present in the eucharist, present in his word, present in the poor, he is present, walking with us. and this is closeness: the shepherd close to his flock, close to his sheep, whom he knows, one by one.
Love Father Sheep
Man cannot call the brimming instant back; time's an affair of instants spun to days; if man must make an instant gold, or black, let him, he may; but time must go his ways. life may be duller for an instant's blaze. life's an affair of instants spun to years, instants are only cause of all these tears.

When i recollect the treasure of friendship that has been bestowed upon me i withdraw all charges against life. if much has been denied me, much, very much has been given. so long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart i shall say that life is good.

Universities were not meant entirely, or even chiefly, as stepping-stones to an examination, but that there is something else which universities can teach and ought to teach-nay, which i feel quite sure they were originally meant to teach-something that may not have a marketable value before a board of examiners, but which has a permanent value for the whole of our life, and that is a real interest in our work, and, more than that, a love of our work, and, more than that, a true joy and happiness in our work.
