Eliot, T.S. A note on Ezra Pound. In : To-day ; no 4 (1918).
Cathay is an absolutely objective work ; it depends upon nothing but its own value. Here, and in the 'Wayfarer' [sic], Mr. Pound shows a matured genius. He has gained in ability to set down an emotion, using images with greater austerity, only for their contribution to the total effect. Nothing could owe less to exotic charm, indeed, than 'The Bowmen of Shu' or 'The River-Merchant's Wife.
