re: #436 Obdicut

Just make sure not to quote Marcus Aurelius (persecuted Christians), Thomas Moore (burned heretics at the stake), Andrew Jackson (supported slavery and onerous policies towards Indians), or the Bible (too much insane crap to mention).

Then you’d really be in trouble.

Ezra Pound was an anti-semite and a deeply crazy man. I still say this poem is awesome, and worth quoting.

My favorite Ezra Pound ditty:

An Immorality

Sing we for love and idleness,
Naught else is worth the having.

Though I have been in many a land,
There is naught else in living.

And I would rather have my sweet,
Though rose-leaves die of grieving,

Than do high deeds in Hungary
To pass all men’s believing.
