Miranda Hickman sent me the following note in response to posts about the Pound Era. It seems we need a little better information. Did he era begin i n 1914 or 1922. Clearly Pound did not take the matter too seriously. Dear Leon Surette, As I find I'm not authorized to send messages to the EP-List from this account (though I can receive from the list), I'm sending this reply to you--in the hope that you can relay it to the list. I'm not sure this speaks to Jonathan Morse's query, as I haven't followed the thread carefully, but Pound wrote an ad for *Blast* in 1914 that ended with the phrase "END OF THE CHRISTIAN ERA." As Bill Wees notes in *Vorticism and the English Avant-Garde* (160), the advertisement appeared on the back cover of *The Egoist* for 1 April 1914.
