“Goodbye Marinetti

Come back and talk when you want to.”

“PRESENTE!” and after that shout, he

added sadly

“I followed vain emptiness in many ways […]

Both of us blind, me to the inner things

you to the things of today."
- Canto LXXII

You (Torquato Dazzi) making a pair with Marinetti

"You wanting the past too much, he the future

Too much eagerness shoots past the mark

He wanted to clear away too much

and now we see more destruction than he wanted"
- Canto LXXII
Ezra Pound

(Both of these were written in 1944 shortly after Marinetti's death)

Here's a full copy of it if you can read Italian

"He was perhaps the only tolerable propaganda poet of all time: he meant it, and the energy he put into it was, as is frequently said, demonic."
- Martin Seymour-Smith (On Vladimir Mayakovsky)

A arditi dagger gifted to Gabriele D'annunzio

"Every absenteeism is a joy to the enemy"
By Vladimir Mayakosvky (1930)

A rhyme's
…
a barrel of dynamite.
A line is a fuse
that's lit.
The line smoulders,
the rhyme explodes –
and by a stanza
a city
is blown to bits.

- Vladimir Mayakovsky
