[lbo-talk] Blog Post. The Road Beckons: Excerpt from Cheap Motels and a Hot Plate

[Carrol Cox]

Joanna: I bought Fanshen on your recommendation. Now I just have to read it.

Someplace in the Cantos Pound quotes someone saying, "Slowness is beauty."
(I think it was Burne-Jones speaking to Yeats.)

Fanshen moves with a powerful and beautiful slowness, within which the
impoverished & illiterate village of "Long Bow" emerges as a microcosm of
all struggle.
