Imagism was not Symbolism, but it proceeds from it - John Gould Fletcher

It is America's opportunity to lay the foundations for a new flowering of English verse, and to lay them as broad as they are strong.

Poetry merely descriptive of nature, however vivid, no longer seems enough for me, there has to be added to it, the human judgement, the human evaluation.

It is time to create something new. It is time to strip poetry of meaningless tatters of form, and to clothe her in new, suitable garments.
