S. Eliot and Ezra Pound. The critical attention then finds itself reciprocated, with Eliot and Pound being in their turn contemplated anew through the lenses of their successors. Hill, Hecht, and Lowell are among the most generously alert and discriminating readers, as is borne out not only by their critical prose but (best of all) by their acts of new creation, those poems of theirs that are thanks to Eliot and Pound. "Opposition is true Friendship." So William Blake believed, or at any rate hoped. Hill, Hecht, and Lowell demonstrate many kinds of friendship with Eliot and Pound: adversarial, artistic, personal. In their creative assent and dissent, the imaginative literary allusions-like other, wider forms of influence-are shown to constitute the most magnanimous of welcomes and of tributes. 410 0$aAnthony Hecht lectures in the humanities. 606 $aAmerican poetry$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish poetry$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAmerican poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish poetry$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a821/.9109 676 $aB 700 $aRicks$b Christopher$f1933-$0166203 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463120703321 996 $aTrue friendship$92482254 997 $aUNINA
