Text
Pound, Ezra. A few don'ts by an Imagiste. In : Poetry ; vol. 1, no 6 (March 1913).
"An 'Image' is that which presents an intellectual and emotional complex in an instant of time. It is the presentation of such a 'complex' instantaneously which gives the sense of freedom from time limits and space limits ; that sense of sudden growth, which we experience in the presence of the greatest work of art."
1. Direct treatment of the 'thing', whether subjective or objective.
2. To use absolutely no word that did not contribute to the presentation.
3. As regarding rhythm : to compose in sequence of the musical phrase, not in sequence of a metronome.
