Dear Poundians, Let me add another question to Antje Pfannkuchen's latest question: Does the "you" in "Portrait d'une Femme" (1912) written by EPound imply Isabel in -Portrai of a Lady-, one of the novels by HJames? I know many say: TSEliot's "Portrait of a Lady" (in -Prufrock-, 1917, but written around 1910-12 before TSE started for Europe) has someting with HJ's. And how about "Portrait of a Lady" (1934) written by WCWilliams? Three major poets seem to compete each other under the same title of HJ's novel.
