Observation: lots of listmembers have been looking for Pound's declaration
of the new epoch, but nobody has been able to pin it down. Conclusion:
Michael Coyle probably has the right idea: Pound may have coined the phrase
"The Pound Era," but he never made much of it. By 1921, anyway, he was
taking a long historical view which included both  himself and others. His
December 24 letter to Eliot about _The Waste Land_ (Paige, _Selected
Letters_ no. 181) is dated "An 1" and concludes, "It is after all a
grrrreat littttttterary period."
