Abstract

Small Miracle( after Guy Davenport) Jacques Coetzee Some time in the 1950s, during a visit from Tom Eliot to St Elizabeth’s Asylum where he’d been confined instead of standing trial for treason, Ezra Pound— who had sought to command presidents, reform governments in accordance with the dictates of his will, ranting at the entire world, insisting it should change— put up his feet on a table in a small room in a long, dim corridor ( Tom Eliot did the same) so as to make enough room for one of the inmates, his name lost to history, to manoeuvre an imaginary vacuum cleaner.
