Jenny Eagleton

So then you’re left with a choice. Do you trust your English teacher, or do you trust Ezra Pound? It shouldn’t be too hard a decision. You trust the madman. And so you learn Mandarin and Provencal and Hebrew and Greek, and, and you go on to lead a life of poverty and hardship.

Hers was one of my favorites. Did you get any books?
