FROST
Among other things, what [Ezra] Pound did was show me bohemia.
INTERVIEWER
Was there much bohemia to see at that time?
FROST
More than I had ever seen. I’d never had any. He’d take me to restaurants and things. Showed me jujitsu in a restaurant. Threw me over his head.
INTERVIEWER
Did he do that?
FROST
Wasn’t ready for him at all. I was just as strong as he was. He said, “I’ll show you, I’ll show you. Stand up.” So I stood up, gave him my hand. He grabbed my wrist, tipped over backwards and threw me over his head.
INTERVIEWER
How did you like that?
FROST
Oh, it was all right.
—Robert Frost, the Art of Poetry No. 2, 1960
