Indeed, Confucius held that no man was truly educated until he had studied the odes.

Ezra Pound
1885–1972
Ezra Weston Loomis Pound was an American expatriate poet, critic and intellectual who was a major figure of the Modernist movement in the first half of the 20th century. He is generally considered the poet most responsible for defining and promoting a modernist aesthetic in poetry.[1] The critic Hugh Kenner said of Pound upon meeting him: "I suddenly knew that I was in the presence of the center of modernism."[2] Source and more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ezra_Pound
