I chose this .
Ezra Pound has so many allusions, hypertext is the perfect way to help understand the poetry. The site itself is rather plain, but I like that because it does not distract from the text with silly gimmicks.
The site expresses the utility and elegance of hypertext. It is easy to understand and use: simply click on the portion of text one wishes to understand. Poetry is a text medium. Its beauty is self contained. The words themselves are what is important. By not including other pictures or graphic design elements, the web designer has not succumbed to ego or the changing vagueries of trends. The web designer allows the words to be important.
This kind of document could only exist on the web. It is the perfect application of hypertext.
