Dr. Pearlman,
I ran a similar idea across the director of my thesis (50 page)
and it seemed to interest him. I've been reading _Cantos_ with
this view in mind and have formulated a kind of "wine, women
and song" attitude alternating with benevolent goddess /
interference goddess (Kwanon / Circe). The not-so recent
discussion on the list concerning the process (tao); has led
me to consider an overall yin element with which Pound may
or may not be concerned. It's all very rough at the moment;
I'm throwing this out there since the subject's come up.
If such a
study has not been done, it's worth at least a term paper,
I'd think.
