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.
