Text
As a response to a letter from Ezra Pound, dated 7 September 1954, Marianne Moore refers on the envelope to Confucius. Shih-ching : the classic anthology defined by Confucius. [Transl. by] Ezra Pound :
"4 misdemeanors
in one letter
profanities & blasphemy
But I confess, Confucius,
Well as my French sage has said,
'Sweet speech does no harm
None at all'. I refer to
The anthology."
