dear Nikolay:
        Please note that I did not say he had NO knowledge of Latin,
but that he did not have POUND'S "acess" to Latin.
I have no doubt that he knew some Latin, but I'm sure Pound had a
superior knowledge of it, as suggested by Canto I,  his Propertius,
translations, allusions to  Catullus, etc.
        I expressed myself carefullly, and hope to be read that way.
