I agree with the other comments, especially my friend from across the pond.
However, there is a particular "American Project" at work in Pound's
understanding of the cultural "loss" of the classics. It is afterall
America that breeds the troubled thought. By now (2005) this attitude is
global (from my perspective).

I do agree. But if you look at this poems is good example of how can
repetition, even literal, function in a poem. It doesn´t function most of
the time. This poems make me think in the repetitive chords of Lou Reed,
ja, ja

This poem was written to warn people that cultural values are being lost,
modernism was not meant for this but to revive the values of poetry.
