Elaborate rhyme schemes, combined with a chance convergence of the poet’s intent and suitable sounding words, can be very important in determining the poem’s outcome\n\t\t275\tKenner talks about poetic forms as a way of “playing it safe”; he gives as examples Virgil’s and Milton’s indebtedness to Homeric forms\n\t\t340\tKenner tries to reconstruct Pound’s thinking in creating the forms of his poetry\n\t\t370\tPound’s system governing the use of his repetitions – details form a model of the larger structure in which the detail will function\n\t\t390\tPound’s motives for paying intense attention to detail\n\t\t415\tKenner reads a passage from Canto VII, relates its sonorities to the beginning of Canto I with the word “and”\n\t\t445\tThe poem begins with “and” because it is based on Book XI of The Odyssey, which begins with “et”\n\t\t475\tPound’s remark that one should “introduce new material near the end”\n\t\t505\tAnother fortunate accident: The decision to simply reproduce a portion of Divas resulted in Canto I having the appearance of a fragment, beginning with “and” & ending with “so that:”\n\t\t544\t“Where does ‘so that:’ go?”\n\t\t568\tKenner discusses Cathay\n\t\t599\tIn original Cathay, Pound put “The Seafarer” next to “Exile’s Letter” – an attempt at “rhyming one culture with another”\n\t\t632\tPound’s rhyme scheme: “Hugh Selwyn Mauberley” – (a study in form) a two-part poem somewhat based on James’ notes to The Ivory Tower\n\t\t688\tThe Cantos containing an array of possibilities, for example, the option to more extensively draw upon the Homeric hymns\n\t\t755\tOther options: Form of Canto I is repeated in Canto LXXXIII, with “Brother Wasp” going to “have speech with Tiresias”\n\t\t824\tThe “economic theme” of the early Cantos, especially regarding Sigismundo Malatestis, becomes important later\n\t\t880\tPound’s numerical sequences in the Cantos\nTwo\t\t000\tPound’s numerical devices reassure the reader of the poem’s formality\n\t\t022\tJuxtaposition of China and America in the Cantos\n\t\t039\tCantos II setting the pattern of cats being a prelude to visions of gods\n\t\t068\tNew material introduced near the end validates the pattern of the poem; the form is repeated, but the particulars are different\n\t\t082\tThe ability of the Cantos to withstand and assimilate the disastrous public events of the 20th century\n\t\t108\tPound’s willingness to accept Chance as a collaborator (Fortuna in Canto-XCVII)\n\t\t125\tLecture ends"],"Note":["[{\"note\":\"Liner Notes: Dr. Hugh Kenner, Language and Literature Recorded at SFU February 25th 1975\\nSide 1: 37:15\\nSide 2: 36:15\",\"type\":\"General\"}]"],"Related_works":["[]"],"_version_":1853670553271926784,"timestamp":"2026-01-07T14:59:57.732Z","score":4.0575795}]
