Ah, I see: for my part, I don't think "relevance" really matters in art. At
least, not in the ways I see it used (topical, contemporary, useful). I'm
kind of in the stream that thinks, with Pound, that in the end it is feeling
that remains.
(Sides? Probably Pound and Eliot are giggling over this in poet heaven...)
