Archaic Torso of Apolloby Rainer Maria Rilketranslated by Stephen Mitchell

We cannot know his legendary headwith eyes like ripening fruit. And yet his torsois still suffused with brilliance from inside,like a lamp, in which his gaze, now turned to low,

gleams in all its power. Otherwisethe curved breast could not dazzle you so, nor could a smile run through the placid hips and thighsto that dark center where procreation flared.

Otherwise this stone would seem defacedbeneath the translucent cascade of the shouldersand would not glisten like a wild beast's fur:

would not, from all the borders of itself,burst like a star: for here there is no placethat does not see you. You must change your life.

Imagism

by Ezra Pound and F. S. Flint

An Image is that which presents an intellectual and emotional complex in an instant of time. […]

It is the presentation of such a complex instantaneously which gives that sense of sudden liberation; that sense of freedom from time limits and space limits; the sense of sudden growth, which we experience in the presence of the greatest work of art.

The rules of imagism:1. Direct treatment of the thing […]. 2. To use absolutely no word that did not contribute to the presentation. 3. As regarding rhythm: to compose in sequence of the musical phase, not in sequence of metronome.

The apparition of these faces in the crowd;Petals on a wet, black bough.

In a Station of the Metro by Ezra Pound

The Avant-Garde Cubism is like standing at a certain point on a mountain and looking around. If you go higher, things will look different; if you go lower, again they will look different. It is a point of view.
