Burt:
That line you are looking for is in a one-page bio or curriculum vitae that
was in the opening pages of a book Pound published in the 20s or 30s; I'd
guess it was a New Directions imprint. They might help you. I think it was a
collection of poetry but not Personnae, in fact I can't think now what it
might have been. But I know the thing existed. I had the book but don't seem
to have it any more. It might be the one called Selected Poems in the ND
catalog. Hope this is some help. BTW: the causes EP discovered rather
resemble my own conclusions concerning the current mess. Credit him with
marked prescience. Tom White
