In response to Professor Gill's suggestion for news about current projects, I expect my book, Winter Love: Ezra Pound and H.D., a study of the relations between the two, to be published next year. And to fill in the dead air of the list, and return to an old controversy, the "Pull down thy vanity" passage. To the extent that I have been following the discussion, opinion has passed from the view that it is an expression of remorse to the idea that EP is cursing out the US army. Some reflection suggests that he is writing about the US as a whole --"rathe to destroy," etc But then there is the view that these lines are spoken by the goddess of the "eyes" in the preceding passage as a reproach to Pound, which reverses again. On the other hand, would "eyes" speak -- symbolically or otherwise? Any ideas about this?
