indictus

Indictus refers to a Latin term meaning "unspoken" or "unwritten." It is most notably associated with the title of a famous poem by Ezra Pound. The poem "Indictus" is part of his larger work, The Cantos, and its title suggests themes of silence, unexpressed thoughts, or perhaps a deliberately obscure or hidden meaning. Pound often used titles that were suggestive rather than explicitly descriptive, inviting the reader to engage with the text on a deeper, interpretive level. The concept of "indictus" can also be applied more broadly in literary or philosophical contexts to describe ideas, emotions, or truths that are difficult to articulate or are intentionally left unsaid. It can allude to the ineffable qualities of certain experiences or the limitations of language in fully capturing complex realities. The term itself carries a certain gravitas, hinting at something significant that remains beyond direct expression.
