...poetry, lyric and satirical, he was adopted by descendants of the Pre-Raphaelite movement-as far as a wildish young man can be adopted. They liked his "splendid invective," fashioned after the Greeks. He carried them away with his fleet excursions into the past-Norman England, old France, Rome, Egypt, Cathay-where, in translation and paraphrase, he brought to life moments and persons of high passion and beauty, each age with its own sharp flavor. Poetry being essentially a personal thing, none may credit nor gainsay Novelist Ford's estimate of Poet Pound. As criticism it is a foolish...
