Excerpt from Certain Noble Plays of JapanIn fact with the help of these plays 'translated: by Ernest Fenollosa and finished by Ezra Pound' I have invented a form of drama, distinguished, indirect and symbolic, and having no need-of mob or press to pay its way an aristocratic form. When this play and its performance run as smoothly as my skill can make them, I shall hope to write another of the same sort and so complete a dramatic celebration of the life' of Cuchulain planned long ago. Then having given enough performances for I hope the pleasure of personal friends and a few score people of good taste, I shall record all discoveries of method and turn to something else. It is an advantage of this noble form that it need absorb no one's life, that its few properties can'be packed up ina box, or hung uponthc walls Where they will be fine ornaments.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
