In his note to the Little Review Calendar, Pound had announced that "The Christian era came definitively to an END at midnight of the 29-30 of October (1921) old style". Noel Stock (on p.247 of _The Life of Ezra Pound_) adds that "the world was now living in the first year of a new pagan age called the Pound Era". Could that be where "Pound Era" originated?
