"A great age of literature is perhaps always a great age of translations." ― Ezra Pound Topic(s): Age More From Ezra Pound "Music begins to atrophy when it departs too far from the dance… poetry begins to atrophy when it gets too far from music." "I could I trust starve like a gentleman. It’s listed as part of the poetic training, you know." "Colloquial poetry is to the real art as the barber’s wax dummy is to sculpture." More In Age "A final word: I am not knowledgeable about the internet. I do not have a computer. I guess that at 74 years of age, I don’t have the patience to learn."― David Wilkerson "As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend."― King Solomon "We’re still living with the old paradigm of age as an arch. That’s the old metaphor: You’re born, you peak at midlife and decline into decrepitude."― Jane Fonda
