i don't think the cantos are that good. i do like his poem The Study In Aesthetics, but his poetry generally doesn't strike me as significant.
What was significant in him, I felt, was his ability to identify and bind together geniuses. He seemed more a social artist, a sort of touchstone detective rather than one who held any particular thread of his own. I am willing to be admonished for my lack of taste, but I just can't seem to penetrate his greater works. Perhaps I need to be a polyglot, lord of reference, before I can delight in him, and perhaps he is a poet's poet, but there's something to be said of approachability. Even Joyce's Ulysses is fairly easy to penetrate with some patience, and there is much to love even as a layman. Where is the allure of Pound? Why must he suck the pleasure from writing and transform it into some act of penance, like Flaubert?

Try understanding the nuance of modern life and its disconnect from your romanticism. Life being real is the beauty in his poems
