Correct EP. It was your quotation in an earlier post that prompted the conundrum.

 

[4291]

Expound.

Later. Good pun, eh!

Also Eliot nicknamed Pound Old Possum so link to Cats and the other ALW of 'musical' notoriety.

 

[4291]

Correct in a way. Pound nicknamed TSE.

 

[Ezra Pound]

Is it too late to change my forum name to il miglior fabbro

 

[4291]

It would still be the same face.

 

[socrates]

It would still be the same face.

...and you'd still wind up in a cage at Pisa.

That was a quick edit.

Quick someone contact Air Traffic Control - this one is going so far over my head it's posing a danger to light aircraft and hang gliders!!!!!

 

[Ezra Pound]

Fair enough, I have said in other forum threads that I should have looked into Ezra's background a bit more before using his name, he was a racist, fascist anti-sematist, KKK sympathiser, non of which (I hope) anyone has ever labelled me. I'm not sure about anti-religious though so I still dont get the original "Ezra's Mate" reference

Ah I get that referrence I originally thought ALW was the airport code for Walla Walla, Washington USA

 

[4291]

I took it to mean T.S.Eliot. They have been described the "Odd Couple" of poetry.

 

[socrates]

so I still dont get the original "Ezra's Mate" reference

Ezra's mate = TS Eliot. The "all shall be well" bit is from Eliot's Little Gidding. He in turn was quoting Julian of Norwich ( who wasn't a bloke after all! )

Bloody Poetry!
