I have been passed some questions from Ian (no last name), a Russian-American poet translating EP. Perhaps some of you have answers to the questions below? The answer to the "Whiteside" question is given by ep in notes at the back of the CEP, at least in my edition. The laughter at "Nascitur Ordo" I think I understand but I would need to see an American dollar to be exact, and I don't have one. The other questions I cannot anwer. If someone has the kindness to reply, I will forward the answer to Ian. Wayne Pounds Tokyo ----------------- I have a couple of questions concerning Personalia in Pound's Poems from the "Collected Early Poems," edited by Michael John King (Introd. by Loius Martz). New Directions, 1976, 1982. 1. First, in Redonillas or Something of that sort), who may be Whiteside in the context: I praise God for a few royal fellows like Plarr and Fred Vance and Whiteside... 2. Also how can you interpret "Nascitur Ordo" in the context: Why should I cough my head off with that old gag of "Nascitur Ordo" A Birth of New Order? 3. in the IV Sonnet from Leviora - Latin: dericus & ingides And the Dedication: To My dear Friend - Remonstrating For His Essay upon "Mighty Mouths" I wonder who the hell it may be and what was the essay about? 4. In the Sonnet L'Art from Canzoni -personalia - Great Scott (Walter Scott?) and the Murex? Thanks in advance. I've just finished translating The Seafarer. My very best, Ian
