the adequate symbol

March 1, 2013

Don’t use such an expression as ‘dim lands of peace.’ It dulls the image. It mixes an abstraction with the concrete. It comes from the writer’s not realizing that the natural object is always the adequate symbol. – Ezra Pound

Downton Pittsburgh in the 50s. Very smoggy.
