Orage’s last words over the radio, emerging for Rapallo from the crackle of Alpine thunder were: ‘in the gap between Price-values and Income is enough gunpowder to blow up every democratic parliament.’
Adnuit. That was a fine sentence to die on.

Pound’s obituary for A. R. Orage (1873-1934), editor of the New Age, a lifelong advocate of economic justice, the difference between property and credit, and the relation between price and material cost. With further contributions from D. G. Bridson, who would travel to Brunnenburg to interview EP in 1959, and Laurence Binyon, a canto from his translation of Dante’s Commedia, which translation Pound would later praise when published in full in Broletto, encouraging Italians to read an English translation! A further review of Pound’s Make It New by Bonamy Dobrée to rear. A very good copy; covers lightly grubbied with a couple of small stains, still all presenting very well; little wear to oversized wraps; internally clean and straight. Gallup C1176.
