Tao Te Ching
Cantos
By Ezra Pound
An important influence on Beat Generation poets like Gary Snyder and Allen Ginzberg, The Cantos is a long, diverse poem in 116 sections. One of the most significant 20th century poems, it was controversially awarded the first Bollingen Prize in 1948 while Pound was under indictment for treason. Finding a middle ground between mythic unity and flow of consciousness, history and personality, with Chinese characters and quotes in other languages, it covers themes from government to economics to culture.
Quotes from Cantos
