In a letter to Iris Barry.  >The Letters of Ezra Pound
1907-1941< Ed. D.D. Paige.  Pg. 87.  "To the best of
my knowledge there is no history of Greek poetry that
is worth anything.  They all go on gassing about the
"deathless voice" and the "Theban Eagel" as if Pindar
wasn't the prize wind-bag of all ages.  The
"bass-drum," etc."
