Charles, Thank you for your more considered answer to the problem, and I withdrawn my previous statement or judgement. Sorry. However, as far as the connection between Pound and Eisenstein is concerned, I am still convinced they are kindred spirits. ... in the sense that both are "imagists" in Pound's understanding of that concept. Both are concerned with invisible images, the ones that form in the reader/viewer's mind in the process of prehending the work. I also believe that this is the essence of modernism... Art is what you leave out. Of course, one could argue that Eisenstein leaves in too much... but at his best he is employing the smake kind of poetic sensibility we find in the best of Pound. Again, please acccept my sincerest apology. Billy Marshall Stoneking
