Hi. I am a student at Florida State University. I, along with my
classmates, have undertaken the task of attempting to track down each of the
allusions found in Marianne Moore's poem "Marriage." I have been assigned
one of the allusions that Moore herself credits to Ezra Pound. The quote is
"A wife is a coffin." This quote is found within the text in quotation
marks and is listed in the author's notes only as: "A wife is a coffin."
Ezra Pound. My classmates and I are attempting to construct a hypertext
containing a link to each allusion. I have found concordances to Pound's
Cantos and Personae, as well as every electronic copy of Pound's poetry I
was able to find on the web, but have had no luck finding the quote. If
anyone is familiar with it or has any suggestions as to where else I may
look, please let me know. Thank you!
