Hello

Unlike the postmodern movement which seemed to draw a lot of energy from
it's opposition to modernism, Pound saw his poetics as beyond romantics.
The modernists were the next stage.  They were not "better than" romantics
so much as they were the future of poetry.   Pound didn't so much emulate
romantics or deny them as he learned from them and absorbed them.  I think
Pound saw himself as the descendent of the romantics.  Most were his honored
ancestors, their spirits were embodied in Pound just like Catullus etal and
were continued into the future through his efforts.
