Quote by Ezra Pound

No good poetry is ever written in a manner twenty years old, for to write in such a manner shows conclusively that the writer thinks from books, convention and clich?, not from real life.

No good poetry is ever written in a manner twenty years old,

Summary

This quote suggests that great poetry cannot be produced in a style that is outdated or no longer relevant. It implies that when a writer uses a manner of writing that reflects ideas and language from the past, it demonstrates that their thinking is derived purely from books, conventions, and unoriginal phrases rather than from personal experiences and observations of real life. Therefore, the quote advocates for poets to draw inspiration from their individual perspectives and engagement with the world around them, rather than relying on recycled ideas from literature and tradition.
