"Pound itu konyol, kasar, murah hati, menyebalkan, bersifat eksibisionis; Eliot masuk akal, berhati-hati, pensiun, menenangkan, pemalu. Meskipun Pound menulis beberapa bagian yang cemerlang, secara keseluruhan ia gagal sebagai penyair (kadang-kadang bahkan menurut perkiraannya sendiri); Eliot beralih dari sukses ke sukses dan masih dikutip - dan salah kutip - oleh ribuan orang yang belum pernah membacanya. Kedua lelaki itu adalah orang asing karena pilihan, tetapi Eliot melepaskan kewarganegaraan Amerika-nya dan melakukan yang terbaik untuk berasimilasi dengan sesama rakyat Inggris, sementara Pound selalu tetap menjadi orang Amerika di pengasingan."

--- T.S. Mathews

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Pound was silly, bumptious, extravagantly generous, annoying, exhibitionistic; Eliot was sensible, cautious, retiring, soothing, shy. Though Pound wrote some brilliant passages, on the whole he was a failure as a poet (sometimes even in his own estimation); Eliot went from success to success and is still quoted--and misquoted--by thousands of people who have never read him. Both men were expatriates by choice, but Eliot renounced his American citizenship and did his best to become assimilated with his fellow British subjects, while Pound always remained an American in exile.
