Chapter 8 of your book does indeed discuss Dante's animals and I should =
have acknowledged it. I like your ascription of the three moral faults =
to the three men individually. It gives an entirely new way of reading =
the poem. The three men/lusts could be used to montage into a single =
Poundian Image.
BTW on a subject the list has abandoned. I came across the anecdote =
about the Conrad Aiken review of TWL; "An Anatomy of Melancholy" =
yesterday. It is part of a prefatory note that Aiken wrote for the =
inclusion of the review in Allen Tate's 1966 book "T.S. Eliot, The Man =
and His Work". The anecdote is on pages 195 and 196. At the end of the =
anecdote Aiken makes an interesting and tantalizingly vague statement: =
"such passages as 'A woman drew her long black hair out tight' , which I =
had seen as poems, or part-poems, in themselves!". Several questions =
come immediately to mind. What other passages? What poems and =
part-poems? Where are these forerunners to TWL? Who else saw and heard =
these poems and part-poems? The famous notebook that has become the =
facsimile was evidently not all that TSE toted in his famously large =
suitcase to Lake Leman. Does anyone know if Aiken has ever enlarged =
upon this statement?
