Can this be related to the qualities of Mr. Pound’s poetry?
3. After reading Mr. Pound’s output, discuss the adequacy of the following: “When content has become for an artist merely something to inflate and display form with, then the petty serves as well as the great, the ignoble equally with the lofty, the unlovely like the beautiful, the sordid as the clean.... Real feeling consequently becomes rarer, and the artist descends to trivialities of observation, vagaries of assertion, or mere bravado of standards and expression—pure tilting at convention.”
