ellauri032.html on line 222: Eliot oli eräänlainen mid-atlantic Puovo Huovikko. Kaikessa tuotannossaan hän sekä tähdensi klassistina perinteen merkitystä että modernistina rikkoi vanhoja kaavoja. Eliot tunnetaan myös Kissojen kielen kompasanakirjassa (Old Possum´s Book of Practical Cats, 1939) julkaistuista lasten kissarunoistaan, jotka jatkoivat englantilaista nonsense-perinnettä. Ympyräsuinen ystäväni antoi ton kissakirjan mulle lahjaxi, mulla on se kai vielä laihojen runokirjojen hyllyssä Wilhon kirjakaapissa. Andrew Lloyd Webber loi vuonna 1981 runoista suositun musikaalin Cats. Ihan niinkuin Puovo Huovikon, Tompan maine luiskahti kun ukko ize saatiin laatikkoon.

Douglas, a British engineer who was developing his economic theory of social credit, which Pound found attractive. Douglas reportedly believed that Jews were a problem and needed to abandon a Messianic view of themselves as the "dominating race". According to Colin Holmes, the New Age itself published antisemitic material. It was within this environment, not in Italy, according to Tim Redman, that Pound first encountered antisemitic ideas about "usury". In Douglas's program," Pound had found his true muse: a blend of folkloric Celtic twilight with a paranoid hatred of the money economy and a dire suspicion about an ancient tent people's faith."
ellauri160.html on line 213: Eliot sent Pound the manuscript of The Waste Land in 1922. Pound edited it with comments like "make up yr. mind", and reduced it by about half. Possum's dedication in The Waste Land was "For Ezra Pound / il miglior fabbro" (the "better craftsman"), from Canto 26 of Dante's Purgatorio.
