Hello, I've just joined the Pound list and am not sure if I can change the subject slightly -- since the topic has been Pound and music etc. -- so do tell me. I've just started to read the Calvacanti Poems and have had some difficulty with the number of 'people' in the text. I was wondering if some of this problem was caused by the gender of some of the words (i.e. love is simultaniously a pleasure giving 'he' and a pain inflicting 'she'). since I know very little Italian, I hope someone who can can help. I have made sense of them as they stand, but if there was some gender confusion, i'd like to know. By the way please don't mention Pound's essay on Calvacanti -- i haven't been able to read it, and won't be able to 'till after xmas. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
