A wonderful question, of enormous interest for all the arts; but the general effect is like encountering a blizzard. Pound had a genuine interest in Chinese, by the way, and Eliot had studied Sanskrit. This writer falls into the trap of tracing the significance of culture from a teleological framework of his own making. As we move on from the labyrinths of our age, thats not how we see it and it is not how Pound and Eliot saw it either. The quotation is of course from the Chinese emperors bathtub.
