This research paper: A 10 page essay that contrasts and compares the principle of logopoeia in Ezra Pound's Canto II and Eliot's The Waste Land. Ezra Pound defines the poetic term "logopoeia," as "'the dance of the intellect among words'" (Pound How to Read 939). By this Pound means that words not only have a direct surface meaning, but the poet also takes into account connotations and "special habits of usage" (Pound How to Read 939). Logopoeia is so vocabulary specific that it cannot be translated, but Pound feels that the attitude of mind that it expresses may be convened in another tongue through a paraphrase, although he seems to feel that this is not likely. This poetic term applies aptly to Pound's Cantos and to T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land. Examination of Canto II and Eliot's masterpiece demonstrates the essence of logopoeia, as each work has complex imagery, which presents complex and multi-layered meaning that requires not only a detailed knowledge of English, but also a detailed background in English and classical references. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
