"La música empieza a atrofiarse cuando se aleja demasiado de la danza la poesía empieza a atrofiarse cuando se aleja demasiado de la música."
— Ezra Pound

Simplified Meaning:
Music loses its energy and excitement when it drifts away from dance. Dance gives music a lively beat and makes it feel alive. Similarly, poetry starts to lose its charm when it becomes too detached from music. Music brings rhythm and melody, making poetry feel emotional and powerful. For example, think of a party where the music is slow and boring – people won't feel like dancing or having fun. But with upbeat, danceable songs, everyone comes to life. The same goes for poetry; when it has a musical quality, it touches hearts more deeply. To apply this idea in life, remember to keep the essence of what makes something great instead of stripping away its core parts – like keeping fun in learning or passion in work.
