This blending of the "X" and "Y" axes seems to continue in the last
paragraph of "ABC of Reading". Maybe Pound was not a very good Cartesian
(see Wheelwright, "Poetry, Myth, and Reality" in Tate's "The Language of
Poetry"). Then again he did seem able to find polarities, and keep separate
track of them, most everywhere else. Perhaps he was simply best as a
complex Contrarian out of sync in a relativist world.
Of course mixing polarities is a habit of relativists.
"Works of art attract by a resembling unlikeness" (Pound, *Osiris*, 41)
And of course (0,Y) and (X,0), though valid abstracts, are not sensible to
humans.
Throughly confused.
