Guido Cavalcanti

Sonnets and Ballate of Guido Cavalcanti

Ezra Pound revised the contents for this edition, including the translations and the introduction. In this book, Ezra Pound tried to bring over the qualities of Guido's rhythm, not a line for line, but to embody in English some trace of that power which implies the man. The science of the music of words and the knowledge of their ​magical powers has fallen away since men invoked Mithra by a sequence of pure vowel sounds.
