These are fantastic. The blind bard (Homer).

The one on the right is titled "Ezra Pound, Poet, Rutherford, New Jersey, at the home of William Carlos Williams, June 30, 1958." So that makes Pound about 72 or 73 (b. 1885).

so they were friends?

nanuka said...

...a lot of famous people have famous friends, like us...

garrett said...

Exactly.

And they were friends since college at the University of Pennsylvania, and both participated in the Imagist movement then more indirectly in the Objectivist movement (which we'll talk about this week).

Don Loomis

Creo que si seguimos atormentando a Garret con nuestras preguntas se va a parecer mucho a Don Loomis cuando alcance esa edad.

garrett said...

Ay, I still have a lot of life in me!

nanuka said...

Ahem, Nanuka is making a reference to Rimbaud and the poète maudit, poeta maldito, at once a social stance or position and a calling.

But because of the spirit who speak trough her
