EZRA POUND & GEORGE HARRISON

THE PARABLE OF THE HORSE AND THE WATER

You can take a man to Perugia or to Borgo San Sepolcro but you can’t make him prefer* one kind of painting to another. All you can do is to prevent his supposing that there is only one kind of painting, or writing, or only two or three or a limited gamut.

EZRA POUND

You can take a horse to the water
But you can't make him drink
Oh no, oh no, oh no
A friend of mine's in so much misery
Some people sail through life,but he has struck a reef
I said "hey man let's go out and get some wisdom"
But first he turned on me, then he turned off his nervous system
You take a horse to water but
You can't make him drink
Oh no, oh no, oh no
You can have it all laid / straight out in front
Of you but it still don't make you think
Oh no, oh no, oh no
Someone I love is gotta problem
Some people thirst for truth, but he would like a drink
O said "Hey man, this will turned out to be risky" but first he turned on me then he downed another bottle of whiskey
There's a preacher out there warning me about Satan
Could be that he knows him
Cause' He acts like he's possessed
I said 'Hey man let's hear about God realization
For a change'
He said "We ain't got time for that
First you must hear the evils of fornication"

GEORGE HARRISON
