Abstract

Starting from a new interpretation of a key statement about time in Pound's Cantos, the relation between Pound's conceptions of time in his later epic and those revealed in his collected shorter poems is explored. A conceptual framework for this investigation is derived from Stephen Hawking's "A Brief History of Time", whose 'arrows of time' are related to such temporal preoccupations in Pound's poems as the inexorable passage of time, the caught moment in time, memory, nostalgia, and the transcendence of time.
