at one stage in my lifeA
I met a man who claimed to haveB
visited Pound at St ElizabethsC
-
then I met a woman who not onlyD
claimed to have visitedE
E PD
but also to have made loveF
to him she even showedG
meD
certain sections in theH
CantosC
where Ezra was supposed to haveB
mentionedI
herJ
-
so there was this man andI
this womanK
and the woman told meD
that Pound had neverJ
mentioned a visit from thisC
manL
and the man claimed that theH
lady had had nothing to doM
with theH
masterJ
that she was aH
charlatanK
-
and since I wasn't aH
Poundian scholarJ
I didn't know who toM
believeN
but one thing I doM
know when a man isC
livingO
many claim relationshipsC
that are hardlyD
soC
and after he dies wellP
then it's everybody'sC
partyD
-
my guess is that PoundQ
knew neither the lady or theH
gentlemanK
-
or if he knewM
oneK
or if he knewM
bothR
-
it was a shameful waste ofF
madhouseC
timeS
