the sunrise in Tuscany,
and the emergence of a world citizen

Another point miscomprehended by people who are clumsy at languages is that one does not need to learn a whole language in order to understand some one or some dozen poems. It is often enough to understand thoroughly the poem, and every one of the few dozen or few hundred words that compose it.
— Ezra Pound, "How to Read," 1929
