This morning’s entry quoted Ezra Pound:
“The first credential we should demand of a critic is his ideograph of the good.”
Dance critic Clive Barnes died Wednesday. Pound may have whispered his advice in St. Peter’s ear when Barnes stood before the Janitor Coeli at heaven’s gate. If so, another angel may have whispered in the other ear,
“Vide Forever Fonteyn.”
