I had trouble with the Twenty-Second Canto.
It opened up with stanzas that seemed to discuss the intersection of finance and military and the costs of war. There’s also an interesting visual:
NO MEMBER OF THE MILITARY
OF WHATEVER RANK
IS PERMITTED WITHIN THE WALLS
OF THIS CLUB
The above stanza was within a cartouche designed to look like a sign hanging as if from a nail.
But then… a reference to a rabbi.
Knowing as one does Pound’s anti-semitic views, any mention of rabbis tends leave one feeling sick in the stomach.
