Lovely stuff. I know four of five bits of the Cantos really well ('What thou lov'st remains', 'With usura', 'Kung walked', and pretty much all of the lovely last ones. I suspect that will be more than enough - the pearls picked out of an edifice of conspiracism and obscurantism. Well done for battling thru!
Damn this was good. I have always been fascinated by Pound and this appreciation goes a long way toward validating my personal bend. The old loony really was a great poet and the voice driving these Cantos manages to be authentic, american and universal. Well done you for redirecting the gaze from trivialities back to the eternal light.
Brilliant conclusion and congrats!! I feel as if I’ve just watched someone walk the Appalachian trail or pass the bar or something.
