     The same will be true of Imagism: a certain degree of variation from a purist definition of the school will take us to a kind of poetry that “Imagism" can no longer describe, although we may still wish to speak of Imagistic tendencies or echoes in the derivative verse.

   • 2001, Chris Beyers, A History of Free Verse, page 135:

     While in general the male 'Imagists' had either never positively committed to Imagism per se (D. H. Lawrence, James Joyce) or had moved on to other projects (Pound, Wyndham Lewis) without being succeeded by a second generation, for these women Imagism opened up more long-term possibilities.
