Ezra Pound - L'Art

Green arsenic smeared on an egg-white cloth,
Crushed strawberries! Come, let us feast our eyes.

In our freshmen English class, we considered that Ezra was perhaps making fun at the art of that time.

It talks about what is The Art.
A white canvas where colors are launched on it.

My high school english teacher told me that Pound is being critical of the paintings at the time... saying they were all this weird stuff. "Come, let us feast our eyes" is sarcastic.
