<< And let me say that
I do not consider Pound a villain, any more than you do. Pound, as far as I
know, never actually DID anything which is comparable to, say, Dostoevsky's
frequent beating of his wife. Nonetheless, Pound is more widely condemned
for his adherence to fascism than Dostoevsky is for his abuse. So those who
defend Pound ---against what they (wrongly, I think) consider to be my
merciless attacks--- do have many good points. But it is the INCORPORATION
of so many horrifying ideas into his artwork, into his propagandistic
endeavors, which makes us have to pause and seriously reflect on the MEANING
OF HIS WORK. >>
I defy anyone to read any one of the numerous posts (by now we must be
talking about more than a hundred) by wei and find any -- that's ANY, folks!
-- positive comments about Pound. the above is merely subterfuge.
