Brainstorming about history, politics, literature, religion, and other topics from a 'gypsy' scholar on a wagon hitched to a star.
The Bounder!There once was a madman called "Pound,"

I am a retired professor. I last taught at Ewha Womans University, mostly composition, research writing, and cultural issues, but also the occasional graduate seminar on Gnosticism and Johannine theology and the occasional undergraduate course on European history. My doctorate is in history (U.C. Berkeley), with emphasis on religion and science. My thesis is on John's gospel and Gnosticism. I'm also an award-winning writer, and I recommend my novella, The Bottomless Bottle of Beer, to anyone interested. I'm originally from the Arkansas Ozarks, but my academic career -- funded through doctoral and postdoctoral fellowships (e.g., Fulbright, Naumann, Lady Davis) -- has taken me through Texas, California, Switzerland, Germany, Australia, and Israel and has landed me in Seoul, South Korea. I've also traveled to Mexico, visited much of Europe, including Moscow, and touched down briefly in a few East Asian countries. Hence: "Gypsy Scholar."

How dare you imply that Pound was faking his madness! Are you mad?!
If he was faking his madness, why... why... why... why then he could have been faking being a poet, too! Outrageous! The very suggestion makes me crazy!
The truth hurts. But so does the lie . . .

Did he fake being a poet? Hell no! He just kept pounding those babies out!

Yes, he pounded them out in the same way as the Soviet Union--as Khrushchev boasted--was making missiles like sausages!
It's best not to see how sausages are made.
