“This sound came in the dark
First must thou go the road to hell,
And to the bower of Ceres' daughter Proserpine,
Through overhanging dark, to see Tiresias,
Eyeless that was, a shade, that is in hell
So full of knowing that the beefy men know less than he,
Ere thou come to thy road's end.
Knowledge the shade of a shade,
Yet must thou sail after knowledge
Knowing less than drugged beasts.” Ezra Pound, Canto XLVII

This is turning out to be a re-read year and this book is LONG overdue for one.
