IV.2.2. Mandelstam.<br />

Motivo de inspiración<br />

104, Osip Mandelstam (1891-1936>, a qui<strong>en</strong> Davie<br />

ha dedicado105 y de qui<strong>en</strong> ha traducido106 poemas, es, después de Pasternak,<br />

la figura de la literatura rusa contemporánea que más importancia ti<strong>en</strong>e para<br />

Davie. Nuestro autor ve <strong>en</strong> el autor ruso a un poeta clásico y de algún modo,<br />

poundiano. El peundianismo de Mandelstam vi<strong>en</strong>e dado por la afinidad de su<br />

movimi<strong>en</strong>to artístico, el acmeísmo, con el imagi.sm del poeta americano. En<br />

Mandelstam... seems te be inescapably by way of the lmagist Pound” (SE,<br />

284).<br />

the form of a foetus of a cradle, specifically not the op<strong>en</strong>-<strong>en</strong>ded and<br />

discontinuous mere ‘pattern’ (rather than form’) that a group of sailing-boats<br />

may falí into” (SE, 287). Esta “profoundly traditional strain and aspiration in<br />
