“Consequently, to form the experience, the length of the line for a haiku thought must have the same length as the duration of the single event of “ah-ness,” which is a breath’s length, even as Igarashi has pointed out.15 Consequently, the length of a verse is made up of those words which we can utter during one breath. The length, that is, is necessitated by haiku nature and by the physical impossibility of pronouncing an unlimited number of syllables in a given breath.”

“we are justifying poetry by ‘proving’ that it is something else, just as, I believe, we have justified religion with the discovery that it is science.”4”

“Pound thought better than he practiced in this particular instance, for his Metro poem was supposedly a pure example of what he meant by Vorticism: “The image is not an idea. It is a radiant node or cluster; it is what I can, and must perforce call a vortex; from which and through which and into which ideas are constantly rushing. It is as true for the painting and the sculpture as it is for poetry.”
