Just one tulip, once...as far as I recall, in a London restaurant, or was it
at Yeats' place in Woburn Walk, on one of WBY's soirees, to draw attention
to himself. Someone will have the date and occasion...

                                Cheers John

Subject: Pound and flower-eating


I heard a snippet on a NPR news today...they were talking about edible
flowers...and mentioned briefly over static something about Ezra Pound
repudately eating a full plate full of tulips, but I didn't catch the whole
anecdote. Anyone know something about this?
