I thought EP's daughter picked up the castle. Are you implying that Mary married Boris just for the castle? How do you know this? Do you read minds perchance? And even if she did marry the guy for his castle, how does this reflect on Ez himself? Are you trying to revive "guilt by association"? > In answer to this particular point: the castle was purchased with Pound's royalties funneled through Dorothy (since EP legally couldn't even buy toilet paper) to Mary. He too wanted a Yeatsian tower. Anyway, Mary didn't depend on hubby for that. ==DP HOME: Dan Pearlman 102 Blackstone Blvd. #5 Providence, RI 02906 Tel.: 401 453-3027 email: [log in to unmask] Fax: (253) 681-8518 http://www.uri.edu/artsci/english/clf/ OFFICE Department of English University of Rhode Island Kingston, RI 02881 Tel.: 401 874-4659
