When I run across this work mentioned, I can’t help but chuckling at the mixture of ire and embarrassment with which primary anthology contributor Richard Aldington mentioned its title in his later works—he liked the anthologizing of the imagists, but disliked the “ridiculous ensign” under which their first published work appeared. He even suggests that Pound might not have actually known what the phrase meant in French, or that it was ungrammatical, but chose it since he “liked foreign titles”.

Wow–this is not only going to be a fantastic resource for the classes I’m teaching on modernist poetry, but it’s a fantastic model for class projects. Very impressive!
