James:
I suspect Blake was a little too "mystical" for Pound, that being another
word for cranky or uselessly obscure. Anyway I remember from somewhere a
crack of Pound's to the effect of: you can't expect much from people who
think rhyming in the vein: "Tiger Tiger catch 'em quick; all the little
lambs are sick," is great verse. Perhaps a bit unfair? EP did not put
anything of Blake's in the anthology "From Confucius to Cummings." Tom White
