[from the review of "A Boy's Will" by Robert Frost]:
"I remember that I was canoeing and thirsty and I put into a shanty for
water and found a man who had no water and gave me cold coffee instead.
And he didn't understand it, he was from a minor city and he "just set
there watchin' the river" and didn't "seem to want to go
back," and he
didn't care for anything else. and so I presume he entered into Anunda.
And I remember Joseph Campbell telling me of meeting a man on a
desolate waste of bogs, and he said to him, "it's rather dull
here";
and the man said, "Faith, ye can sit on a middan and dream stars."
And that is the essence of folk poetry with distinction between America
and Ireland. And Frost's book reminded me of these things..."
-Ezra Pound [excerpted from "Into my Own" by John Evangelest
Walsh.]
I haven't seen or thought about this one in years.
