And regarding Ezra he was my first master over thirty years ago.
I must know much of his work instinctively by heart. My comment on
him was that I only saw the Dantean experience in his work in a
glimmer of `Near Perigord'. Although there are touches in the Cantos.
I felt that this was a restriction on his poetry. The great poets
need it. And for those looking at his work just realise what he
wrote in his 20s.
