Tim,
    On the subject of Pound's animus-anima analysis, I would understand that
what you characterize as the "passive antennae" is his anima or any poet's
anima, i.e. his deeply collective unconscious which gathers the "live
tradition" from all sources of or, moreover, is all sources of "sagetrieb",
paideuma, etc. This is the quality which poets as sages (antenae) of the
race (human) allow to flow perhaps more freely than others through
themselves and out as Cavalcanti saw love doing. Pound understood the
artist's urge in this respect.
    His animus, on the other hand, is manifested in the conscious will, and
this was all too human, a "power directed by the will" as you put it. In
regard to this side of his nature he was not guided as he was by the anima
but suffered as Schiller put it as one who has "zwei Seele in den Brust".
    In 1935 Jung wrote the following which describes the conscious reaction
of the animus to what he called the Dionysian effect on the primordial
psyche. If he is correct it may explain Pound's "all too human" animus
reacting in a quite predictable fashion with forces beyond its comprehension
or control. Jung writes;
    "Dionysus is the abyss of impassioned dissolution, where all human
distinctions are merged in the animal divinity of the primordial psyche - a
blissful and terrible experience. Humanity, huddling behind the walls of its
culture, believes it has escaped this experience, until it succeeds in
letting loose another orgy of bloodshed. All well-meaning people are amazed
when this happens and blame high finance, the armaments industry, the Jews,
or the Freemasons."
    To my reference concerning Blunt in my previous posting, I should have
added the following from Terrell, p.454;
    "Blunt: Wilfred Scawen B., 1840-1922, poet, diplomat, politician, world
traveler, and defender of home rule for India, Egypt, and even Ireland, for
which he became the first Englishman to go to prison. In the London years,
Pound thought highly of Blunt and sent some of his poetry to Harriet Monroe,
saying, "the Blunt stuff, glory of the name etc. ought to build up our
position...' [L,34]. On Jan. 18, 1914, a committe of poets including Yeats,
Masefield, Pound, and several others 'presented to Wilfred Scawen Blunt' in
token of homage' a reliquary carved ... by the brilliant young sculptor,
Gaudier-Brezka...' So Pound wrote in "Poetry" [vol.3,no.4., March 1914,
220-223]." This should clear up any mystery on Blunt if there was any.
    As a final observation on the class question which once manifested
itself openly and clearly drew its lines in the sand, nowadays it seems to
have resolved into the question of advertizing and selling to the greatest
portion of the population possible while maintaining the proper set of
"do's" and "don't's" in order to remain as innocuous as possible. This of
course takes money and lots of it to pay the drama coaches and spin doctors
so the "liars in public places" don't get caught with their pants down or
their flies unzipped. But "liars" may be too strong a word for lying implies
that one knows something in the first place. "A tawdry cheapness shall
outlast our days" wrote Pound, and it did  outlast his days. Furthermore it
remains to be seen if it outlasts ours, and maybe this is the only whimper
we will hear with no bang ever coming. No one will pull Pentheus down from
his tree again.
