I have had plenty of cracks. Pound wrote me that it was damn bad and Tate informed the world that although I was skillful enough I was morally obsolete. And neither comment disturbed me much because I know myself that the poem isn't damn bad and I also know why Pound says (but does not think) it is. While as for Tate I simply have to confess that that I don't understand his vocabulary. He apparently means that the poem was written in past tense. . . . the comment of the socialogues that it isn't about OUR TIME hasn't made much of a dent in my convictions because whether they know it or not it is a lot more about OUR TIME than most of the daily papers. . .
