The Futurist Manifesto
F. T. Marinetti, 1909

#6 (of 11 tenents)

The poet must spend himself with warmth, glamour and prodigality to increase the enthusiastic fervor of the primordial elements.

ahhh... to have the time and money for prodigality would indeed enhance those primordial elements.

quite the futurist, this Marinetti was.

Oui, and young! Under 30 crowd Still, a Movement with a legacy.

[mtmynd]

yes, to be young. who was it that said 'youth is wasted on the young'..?

may the idea behind the movement, if not the movement itself, live on regardless of the generation. the world breeds poets and poets breed their poems... youth or not, both engage in the love or writing.

[Odette]

The lovemaking of poems... yes.
