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.
