More From Ezra Pound

The day is cold, and dark, and dreary; it rains, and the wind is never weary; the vine still clings to the mouldering wall, but at every gust the dead leaves fall, and the day is dark and dreary. my life is cold, and dark, and dreary; it rains, and the wind is never weary; my thoughts still cling to the mouldering past, but the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast, and the days are dark and dreary. be still, sad heart! and cease repining; behind the clouds is the sun still shining; thy fate is the common fate of all, into each life some rain must fall, some days must be dark and dreary.

Say a word, say a thousand to me on the telephone and i shall choose the wrong one to cling to as though you had said it after long deliberation when only i provoked it from you, i will cling to it from among a thousand, to be provoked and hurl it back with something i mean no more than you meant that, something for you to cling to and retreat clinging to.

As we go through life, even through very rough waters, a father's instinctive impulse to cling tightly to his wife or to his children may not be the best way to accomplish his objective. instead, if he will lovingly cling to the savior and the iron rod of the gospel, his family will want to cling to him and to the savior.

In trading with each other cities can't be in too different stages of development, and they can't copy one another. backward cities, or younger cities, or newly forming cities in supply regions, have to develop to a great extent on one another's shoulders. this is one of the terrible things about empires. empires want them only to trade with the empire, which doesn't help them at all. it's just a way of exploiting them.
