His father, Stelios Seferiadis, was a lawyer, and later a professor at the University of Athens, as well as a poet and translator in his own right.

| | | | | | | Ezra Pound: Encyclopedia II - Finnegans Wake - Synopsis Because Joyce's sentences are packed with obscure allusions and puns in dozens of different languages, it's still impossible to offer a definite synopsis, but this first approximation is widely accepted.
The book begins with one such allusion:
riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of
shore to bend of bay, brings us by a commodius
vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and
Environs.
"Commodious vicus" refers to Giambattista Vico (1668-1744). Vico believed in a theory of cyclical history ...

| | | | | Ezra Pound: Encyclopedia II - George Oppen - Oppen the Objectivist In 1933, the Oppens returned to New York where, together with Williams, Zukofsky and Reznikoff, they set up the Objectivist Press. The press published books by Reznikoff and Williams, as well as Oppen's Discrete Series, with a preface by Pound.
"Objectivist" poetics, self-consciously referred to in quotations by its chief instigator, Louis Zukofsky, was essentially an attempt to give Imagism formal aim. According to Zukofsky, a poem could only achieve perfect rest by adhering to the principles of sincerity, "thinking with things as they exist" and the adequate arrangement of ...

| | | | | Ezra Pound: Encyclopedia II - Five Enneagram - Wings
Five Enneagram - Five With A Four Wing: The Iconoclast.
The four wing produces an emotional "charge" that complements the five's mental intensity. They are emotionally sensitive and easily overwhelmed, yet at the same time driven to explore their emotional landscapes, often by deliberately entering dark, esoteric, or disturbing arenas of thoughts. Compared to 5w6's, 5w4's have a more intuitive, non-rational approach to knowledge, which can lead to both aesthetic awareness and open de ...

| | | | | Ezra Pound: Encyclopedia II - G. K.'s Weekly - Chesterton as editor and campaigner Chesterton travelled the country to local distributist chapters. There is an account by Marshall McLuhan of how he attended a London League meeting in June 1935, travelling from Cambridge, where he was a doctoral student, with the local distributist activist.
G. K.'s Weekly in fact gained little financially for Chesterton; it was not a lucrative venture, but a gesture of respect for Cecil's memory. Maisie Ward in Gilbert Keith Chesterton goes into the financial side, naming Lord Howard de Walden (T. E. Ellis, or Thomas E ...

| | | | | | Ezra Pound: Encyclopedia II - Toyotomi Hideyoshi - Rise to power Toyotomi Hideyoshi was born in what is now Nakamura-ku, Nagoya in the Owari province, the home of the Oda clan. He was born with no traceable samurai lineage and hence without a surname: his childhood given name was Hiyoshimaru (日吉丸), although variations exist. According to Maeda Toshiie and a European missionary named Luis Frois, he was polydactyl - he had two thumbs on his right hand, and he didn't cut his extra thumb as other Japanese in his period would do. As a youth, he first joined the Imagawa clan as a servant of local ruler Matsushita, u ...

Although Torrey, TAC, and NAMI remain aligned, NAMI may have tried to distance itself from TAC in 1998.
