Excerpt from Pasolini's interview with Ezra Pound, 1967 [English translation below the video]

Pier Paolo Pasolini interviews Ezra Pound [3/3]

Grazie! “But the beauty is not in the madness” “A little light, like a rushlight / to lead back to splendor.” —Canto CXVI

Neither Pasolini nor Pound practiced 'normal' politics. Their views were totally idiosyncratic, poets' views. Neither of them had much time for sausage-making.

PS. The Ezra Pound Society also hosts a copy of the interview:

@rmbaracs Gracias Rodrigo Hermoso encuentro entre Ezra Pound y Passolini Gracias

Due mostri!!

Pound was a tough person to interview or hold his attention.

cada vez es mejor.

Again ! Pound's italian is a pain in the ass. 🤢

Me parece muy particular que haya entrevistado a un tipo abiertamente fascista

Thank you! So fascinating
