Pound ABC’s p 134 on Cupid and Venus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Alexander_Boyd#cite_ref-Pound134_1-0
I looked up the Pound.ref (ABCs, p. 134). I wanted to know which language he, E.P., was referring to, since the poem is in Scots. This is sous-entendu in his wording, though the surrounding selections are in English.
Per Wiki, Mark Boyd spent much of his life in France, publishing two books of poetry in Latin while teaching in Bordeaux at the Collège de Guienne, where Montaigne had been a student.
(I don’t know what strange atavistic impulse was driving me to delve into such things, though it is true that my middle name is Maclaine, and I distantly follow the affairs of the Maclaine Clan. So much for a personal spate of small-cap identitarianism.)
