Pounders, En Lin Wei's question re Pound's "religion" - was that rhetorical, or what? That was a question not even EP novices wd have the guts to ask. It's ALL in Pav & Div, Romance, Kulch.It is esp. Sel. Prose pp 45ff. It's in Surette's books, Miyake, Typhonopoulos, Eastham, Dan Pearlman. It's in Kodama, Kenner, Lindberg - it's everywhere! It is, in short, what the Cantos is about IN THE FIRST PLACE. One cd expect that this is, within the Pound circle, common knowledge & thus wdn't afford charming little rhetorical exercises. Excuse my lack of patience on this. And a certain lack of tact. But, sir: how did YOU read or live with the Cantos so far?
