"Pound has a horror of popular culture, which was the occasion of his
 blue-pencilling a good deal of THE WASTE LAND. Much of what he threw out of
 THE WASTE LAND was from the music hall world that Eliot loved. Pound took
 culture very seriously and phonetically and moralistically. My metaphysical
 approach is not moral. That is why I get such very great joy from
 contemplating these forms of culture." - McLuhan to Joe Keogh, LETTERS,
 1970, pp.412-3;
