...symphonies of Mozart, who wrote his first when he was eight, and died at an age (34) when the average composer is just beginning to hit his stride.

Poet Pound's boating is more like a torpedo bug's: he scoots about his map every which way, and tries to be everywhere on it as simultaneously as possible...
