Did Pound have in mind some of today's scholarship?
    "And they went looking for Manicheans
      And found, so far as I can make out, no Manicheans
     So they dug for, and damned Scotus Eriugena"
                                                        Canto XXXVI
On the subject of infinity- It's a long way for any of us to see.
                                              Charles Moyer
