To study a poet's word choice and word order is not to make "centaurs from
ants".  A poet's word choice and word order is the very essence of his poem.
"The cruellest month is April" is absolutely not the same as "April is the
cruellest month".

I thought I had made it clear that I was well aware that what Kati actually
meant in his instruction was of little direct interest to the Pound student.
What is interesting me is how the word choice and word order of the lines in
"The Cantos" came about and Boris's contribution to that choice.
