Hi, I have a vague memory that Pound directly quotes Yeats's line "I made it out of a mouthful of air" (from "He thinks of those who have Spoken Evil of his Beloved") in his prose somewhere - can anyone point me in the right direction? I know a few possible echoes or allusions in the Cantos (81/542: "To have gathered from the air a live tradition"; 83/53: "begotten of air"; 90/628: "the stone taking form in the air"), but I can't find the direct quote. Many thanks Sean (and apologies if it's somewhere blindingly obvious and I've missed it) ----- Sean Pryor Trinity College Cambridge CB2 1TQ
