Aldington later wrote regarding the title: "What Ezra thought that meant remains a mystery, unless the word "Anthologie" was assumed to precede it. Amy Lowell's anthologies were called Some Imagist Poets, so she may have supposed that Ezra thought Des Imagistes meant 'Quelques Imagistes.' The use of French for the name of this poetry collection by English, Irish and American authors is attributed to Pound's liking for foreign-language titles."[2]
