Hello,
I've just joined the Pound list and am not sure if I can change the
subject slightly -- since the topic has been Pound and music etc. -- so
do tell me.
 
I've just started to read the Calvacanti Poems and have had some
difficulty with the number of 'people' in the text.  I was wondering if
some of this problem was caused by the gender of some of the words (i.e.
love is simultaniously a pleasure giving 'he' and a pain inflicting
'she').  since I know very little Italian, I hope someone who can can
help.  I have made sense of them as they stand, but if there was some
gender confusion, i'd like to know.
 
By the way please don't mention Pound's essay on Calvacanti -- i haven't
been able to read it, and won't be able to 'till after xmas.
