Text
Pound, Ezra. The Renaissance. In : Poetry ; vol. 5, no 5 (1915).
"The last century rediscovered the middle ages. It is possible that this century may find a new Greece in China. Undoubtedly, pure color is to be found in Chinese poetry, when we begin to know enough about it ; indeed a shadow of this perfection is already at hand in translations. Liu Ch'e, Chu Yuan, Chia I, and the great vers libre writers before the Petrarchan age of Li Po, are a treasure to which the next century may look for as great a stimulus as the renaissance had from the Greeks."
