why seated · More Pound, and the Cantos from their first printing. Three Cantos (1917) open by arguing with Browning's Sordello — the series Browning, Pound, Pessoa that cards 05/01–05/03 measure, now with its hinge in print. The Cavalcanti of 1912 is Pound's Italian source on the facing page, and The Spirit of Romance is his map of the Provençal and Italian lyric that card 18/02 seats in its own languages.
