she commented on the word logopoeia
"Logopoeia, 'the dance of the intellect among words,' that is to say, it employs words not only for their direct meaning, but it takes count in a special way of habits of usage, of the context we expect to find with the word... It holds the æsthetic content which is peculiarly the domain of verbal manifestation and can not possibly be contained in plastic or in music." — Ezra Loomis Pound, NY Herald-Tribune, January 20th, 1929
