Ezra Weston Loomis Pound (30 October 1885 – 1 November 1972)became known for his role in developing Imagism, which, in reaction to the Victorian and Georgian poets, favored tight language, unadorned imagery, and a strong correspondence between the verbal and musical qualities of the verse and the mood it expressed.After teaching Romance Languages at Wabash College in Indiana for two years, he resigned and travelled to Spain, Italy and England. He became interested in the poetry of the Chinese and Japanese.He founded the Imagist movement in poetry, which encouraged experimenting with different verse forms, and opposed representational art in favor of abstract forms.

Post #1 RED...


Imagine Heat. An everlasting, enveloping warmth around you. An out of control fire that is bright and burning. Think of your most intense emotion, how it feeds on your energy. Excitement, anger, passion. Imagine the sun shining bright on a hot summer day, your skin is warm covered in dripping, sticky sweat. Red is emotion, weather, food... it is all around you. Many people often ironically connect love and hate to red. Red is also said to be connected to hunger, which is supposedly why McDonald's colors are red and yellow. Red is a leaf in the middle of autumn, the blush on your cheeks, and the color of the blood within you. That is red.
