1 1928 Pound, Ezra. The literary essays of Ezra Pound [ID D29121].
"I merely insist that without this minimum the critic has almost no chance of sound judgment. Judgment will gain one more chance of soundness if he can be persuaded to consider Fenollosa's essay or some other, and to me unknown but equally effective, elucidation of the Chinese written character. Before I die I hope to see at least a few of the best Chinese works printed bilingually, in the form that Mori and Ariga prepared certain texts for Fenollosa, 'a crib', the picture of each letter accompanied by a full explanation."
2 1934 Pound, Ezra. The literary essays of Ezra Pound [ID D29121].
"Fenollosa's work was given me in manuscript when I was ready for it. It saved me a great deal of time. I saved probably less time to a limited number of writers who noticed it promptly but who didn't live with is as closely as I did. Fenollosa died in 1908. I began an examination of comparative European literature in or about 1901 ; with the definite intention of finding out what had been written, and how. The motives I presumed to differ with the individual writers."
