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."
