Text
Letter from William Carlos Williams to Louis Zukofsky ; Jan. 26 (1947).
"I had been thinking and writing (private papers) of Ezra's encounter with Chinese poetry--thinking that at that very point his deterioration began due entirely (tho' the inclination was already in him) to his turning from sound to pronunciamentos. He from that moment imagined himself Kung or equated himself with all wisdom and, by that failing against which all poets must guard themselves went straight to hell."
