ABSTRACT

Yeats's A Vision, quoted by Grigson, appeared in a limited edition in 1927, and was substantially revised and reissued ten years later. The book begins with a few papers titled 'A Packet for Ezra Pound', perhaps meant as a gesture of neighbourliness (they both were living in Rapallo). Yeats here gives Pound's account of the structure of the Cantos before the completion of A Draft of XXX Cantos.
