Reference to Wilfrid Scawen Blunt at 2:09. This Victorian poet Pound had a profound admiration for as he was trying meet as many eminent Victorians still alive by the early 1910s. They along with Yeats, Richard Aldington and three other poets famously had a peacock lunch at Blunt's estate in West Sussex on January 18 1914.

It is an East Coast 'Brahmin' accent since EP descended from Philadelphia and Manhattan stock. Homer Pound was assigned to assay the new silver coinage being produced in Western mines and EP was born in Hailey. But when still an infant he was taken back to Chester PA and NYC where he grew up/was educated.

What thou lovest well remains, the rest is dross What thou lov’st well shall not be reft from thee What thou lov’st well is thy true heritage Whose world, or mine or theirs or is it of none? First came the seen, then thus the palpable Elysium, though it were in the halls of hell, What thou lovest well is thy true heritage What thou lov’st well shall not be reft from thee The ant’s a centaur in his dragon world. Pull down thy vanity, it is not man Made courage, or made order, or made grace, Pull down thy vanity, I say pull down. Learn of the green world what can be thy place In scaled invention or true artistry, Pull down thy vanity, Paquin pull down! The green casque has outdone your elegance. “Master thyself, then others shall thee beare” Pull down thy vanity Thou art a beaten dog beneath the hail, A swollen magpie in a fitful sun, Half black half white Nor knowst’ou wing from tail Pull down thy vanity How mean thy hates Fostered in falsity, Pull down thy vanity, Rathe to destroy, niggard in charity, Pull down thy vanity, I say pull down. But to have done instead of not doing this is not vanity To have, with decency, knocked That a Blunt should open To have gathered from the air a live tradition or from a fine old eye the unconquered flame This is not vanity. Here error is all in the not done, all in the diffidence that faltered . . .

So I intend to use this in a memorial to my grandfather who was in Italy and fought there. He moved to canada afterwords and became a gardner. I cannot think of a more fitting tribute. I had not even thought of the word in question since I know what it means. But now I dont know if I have to censor it. I cannot imagine changing a poem of such richness because it has a homonym of a word that is obviously much more unfortunate. Any thoughts?

It's always interesting to hear a poet's own voice. A bit surprising, though, that Pound, who was an advocate of verse as song as much as speech, seems to speak in a rather affectless monotone? Or... now that I look at the attribution: is this really Pound himself? There is much falsity on the web.

I mean, Pound WAS an old windbag. Even his most loving supporters can't deny that the guy had an ego the size of Texas. And he DID do a lot of despicable, fascist, racist things. If you love him, fine, I get it. But you can't deny he had quite a few reasonably unlikable things about him as well. I was just trying to point out how, just because Pound said something, doesn't mean it's true.
