Moore, Marianne. Idiosyncrasy and technique. (Berkeley, Calif. : University of California Press, 1958).
Laurence Binyon, reflecting on the state of letters after completing his Dante, said : "How indulgent we are to infirmity of structure…" and structural infirmity truly has, under surrealism, become a kind of horticultural verbal blight threatening firmness to the core ; a situation met long ago in The Classic Anthology Defined by Confucius [by Erzra Pound]:
Enjoy the good yet sink not in excess.
True scholar stands by his steadfastness…
Lamb-skin for suavity, trimmed and ornate,
But a good soldier who will get things straight.
