A serious character Book

I got this book in a lot, and I'm glad I did. Pound is interesting from a psychology perspective, having spent about a dozen years at St. Elizabeths Hospital. This was part of being indicted for treason because he supported Mussolini, and broadcasting radio programs in Italy. He had attitudes towards minorities and women which would not be acceptable today. The book has some good descriptions of what his mind felt like (wasp nest, upper part of brain being replaced by fluids, mainspring busted). Pound was associated with many other writers, including Frost, Eliot, Hemingway, H.D. (a Freud tie in)and Joyce. Here (restated, as I love to do) are his five important things to teach his daughter:
1. Don't lie, cheat or steal
2. Don't ask inconvenient questions; all countries have different customs
3. If you're suffering, it's because you aren't understanding the universe; suffering exists to make people think
4. don't judge others, except
understanding how what they are doing is part of a behavioral sequence
figuring out whether she might do what they are doing
5. If you don't like something, blame it on either the universe or on yourself
The information about how Pound and George Santayana got along is interesting. This will probably be a hard book to find reasonably priced, but worth the look.
