Linda:
I'm not a Pound expert, but am on the digest doing research on E.E.
Cummings.
But the quote:
In the Tao Te Ching there is a quote, "As you contemplate, so are you
contemplated."
Just rang a bell.
I'm very interested in how the modern poets (if that's the right term) were
interested in Eastern thought. I see it in Frost, Cummings, Emerson, Thoreau
(now I'm meandering backwards in time . . .) but in my American Studies
program here in Maine my prof's think I'm crazy and flat out deny any such
influence. Sigh!!

Subject: quick question
An Ezra Pound quote--or some piece of it--which I love keeps rattling in my
head. Does anyone know the source and the correct wording of:
What you look hard at has a way of looking back hard at you.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read, and, perhaps even to respond
to this query. I appreciate it.
