i am very interested in anything you may have on this matter. i am writting
an essay approaching pound from a political standpoint (as an anarchist). to
me reading the cantos are a "what not to do" book, when starting with the
love and compassion pound had. the cantos show how a beautiful and feeling
person can easily become neo-facist (even while insisting on human freedom)
because of the intinsity of feeling (sort of a eric hoffer true believer
sorta thing), with a bit of cultural bigotry thrown in at the base.
anyway...
