BL. W. B. Yeats

93. Itô, Michio. Utsukushiku naru kyôshitsu (A classroom for the beautiful). Tokyo: Hôbunkan, 1956.

Pages 20-34 of Itô’s autobiography include fond reminiscences of his friendships with Yeats and Pound, first-hand description of their work with Fenollosa’s manuscripts and the first production of At the Hawk’s Well (12), and the story about Asquith that makes sense of lines about Itô in Canto LXXVII (see BK56c). See also Itô’s ‘reminiscences’ (94) and, for English translation of pertinent sections of both that work and this, Carruthers (178).
