Dear List

Duncan's biographer Ekbert Faas and Edward Foster in "Understanding the Black Mountain Poets" both refer (Faas, 282 and Foster,142) to Duncan having used Pound's "tone leading of vowels".  Foster refers back to "Literary Essays of Ezra Pound" page 5.  

Can someone point out to me where Pound describes "tone leading of vowels"?  Both Faas and Foster use precisely this phrase as if it were a phrase of Pound's.    Pound seems to be more concerned with leading of consonants and the effect of final vowels.
