A poetic appreciation of dance

"The poem fails when it strays too far from the song, and the song fails when it strays too far from the dance." (cited by Jimmy Dale Gilmore on "Fresh Air")

"Music begins to atrophy when it departs too far from the dance... poetry begins to atrophy when it gets too far from music."
Ezra Pound on www.brainyquote.com/

Shall I tell Jimmy Dale Gilmore?
