Pound vs. Eliot

[jdeirmend]

Billy, hat's off to you for sustaining the effort.

I don't mean to pretend that I am really so good and widely read of a reader, that I'm able to see all this kind of stuff all the time. And I do concede to the wisdom of giving the writing a chance to stand on its own merits, first, before trying to get all fancy and clever. But when I'm able to shut my distracted mind down well enough to do just that, for me, it often invites a deeper engagement.

seriously

i can't follow your logic.
i haven't been offering reasons.
you're good, you're very good but i've had enough, you win.

you're making things up npw. who denied authorly authority to what? we read they write we don't always see what they mean, they don't always write of themselves or their experiences. it a blind fuckin apple dunking contest. the poet puts the apples in the tub of water but we don't see him do it.

i'm happy with my opinion. i'fe used quotes, anecdotes source material, even poetry and part autobiographies, if that's not reason evoking enough for you i'm fucked. i do see that you seem to be the only correct person in the thread well done.
bye.
