In Pound's poetry, the ur-statement of firsthand epiphanic religious
_experience_  --an abrupt fracture of the Everyday which is accompanied by
an intense clear light and an overwhelming feeling of transformation--  is
to be found in the poem called The Tree.   Pound's religion is not doctrinal
or dogmatic but syncretic and eclectic. He looks everywhere (Eleusis,
Erigena, Richard of St Victor, Ovid, the neoplatonists, etc) for expressions
of this epiphany.
