Thanks to Dan Pearlman for further reminiscences.
 
On a different but not unrelated topic: Geoffrey Hill's strange new
book-length poem, *The Triumph of Love* (Houghton Mifflin 1998/Penguin
1999), contains the following lines in section (canto?) CXLVI:
 
"Cursed be he that removeth his neighbour's mark:
Mosaic statute, to which Ruskin was steadfast.
(If Pound had stood so, he might not have foundered.)"
 
Does anyone have any idea what Hill is getting at here?
