God Mike I wish so bad to read them, but the place I live at right now, it was next to impossible to even get my hands over the one I’m reading from: Poems 1918–21, including Three Portraits and Four Cantos. Just four (IVth to VIIth)! Even Amazon’s giving me a hard time, economically, with his books…. of course I have it all as ebooks in my phone, but then, you open them rarely, and the eye-strain!

Yes, the cantos now…. they are magic! And I agree never as a whole, de facto, even a line is sheer art in itself, and God overwhelming! and abstractly-complete. The languages: I am trying to learn em, but sometimes Google helps, ya’know, a bit. ‘Periplum’!! Google doesn’t helped there much.. just a sentence of etymology and Pound’s mention, that’s it ; can you elaborate this Mike please?

And that master’s thesis of yours — I’d kill to get my hands over it. Maybe, hopefull, someday;-)
