Many thanks, another big help. Does anyone know anything about the context?
Thx.,

Subject: Pound line
So does anyone in this august company know the whereabouts or origins
of a Pound line that goes roughly, 'technical accuracy is the measure of a poet's sincerity'.
I just heard the line earlier this afternoon, and am going from memory which is somewhat feeble.
Thanks,
Merry Christmas all!
