If you come to the MLA this year, we can talk about Pound's rising and falling Confucian vision. Will be part of my talk on Pound and the Naxi.

my 0.2 cents:
 
Pound is first a Confucious, then somebody else (very bright, mentally ill,
fascist etc. ). I doubt if we can plot Pound without fully understanding his
link to Confucious. I am very curious about it, and am looking forward to
learning more from you netters.
