TO GENERATE AN IMAGE

I want to bring readers up to date by reminding them of a statement by Ezra Pound which was cited earlier in this document:

An ‘Image’ is that which presents an intellectual and emotional complex in an instant of time….It is the presentation of such a ‘complex’ instantaneously which gives that sudden sense of liberation….which we experience in the presence of the greatest works of art. It is better to present one Image in a lifetime than to produce voluminous works.

Cited in Humphrey Carpenter’s 1988
