BK. Ezra Pound

25. Impressions of François-Marie Arouet (De Voltaire). Poetry 8 (September 1916): 278-79.

   
  Reprinted in the 1917 edition of Lustra.  

The first stanza includes one of few examples of Pound resorting to japonaiserie for detail, in the form here of ‘white vases from Japan’ that along with other details signify the wealth and decadence of Madame Arouet. Reprinted in the 1917 edition of Lustra (see 20).
