To see a world in a grain of sand
And a heaven in a wild flower...

                       These, indeed, words
For they are actions that a man might play

Things Pound says are physiologically true.
I  feel  that  for conscious person two weeks would be enough to learn
Italian  as to read Dante. That is, I read Dante and get in mind about
200  words  every  day,  and am almost sure in two weeks I _will_ know
italian  (having  began  Commedia  2  days ago). This is physiological
truth,  and  possessing  it I feel that general ways of men are _very_
wrong.
