Those who still admire Ezra Pound's pretentious poetry will presumably enjoy listening to him reciting while thumping on a kettledrum. |
The golden measure of poetry does not yet exist, only the rhythm of the maracas, the exact sound of the kettledrum. |
The orchestral kettledrum has a practical compass of five full tones. |
The oblong panels in the zone towards the base of the kettledrum show a kufic inscription of unknown content. |
Its thunder, which began as a distant kettledrum murmur, approaches with ever-sharper cracks that rock the canyon, rattling us in the process. |
Like the huge kettledrum of some warring tribe each thunderclap momentarily burying the sounds of bumper-to-bumper traffic beyond the liquid curtain suddenly drawn across the awning. |
