01739--collage

Collage is a work assembled wholly or partly from fragments of other writings, incorporating allusions, quotations, and foreign phrases. Originally applied to paintings with pasted-on elements, the term has been extended to an important kind of modernist poetry, of which the most significant examples are the Cantos of Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land. The collage technique can also be found sometimes in prose works.
