...Perhaps Be Damned." Eliot's famous burrowings and borrowings in Baudelaire, Buddha, Frazer's Golden Bough, the Fisher King legend, Shakespeare, the prophet Ezekiel, Ecclesiastes, Dante's Inferno, Rupert Brooke, Richard Wagner, Verlaine, Aeschylus, Ovid's Metamorphoses and Oliver Goldsmith originally helped make the poem the perennial undergraduate's hunt-and-peck guide to instant culture. But there appear to be no direct transplants from Pound.

Although Blocker's performance was difficult to match, Leigh Woods as Saul and Frazer Lively as the witch came close. Miss Lively's witch was an imaginative if not completely successful attempt to break away from the stereotype of withered, cackling, old crones. Gaunt she is, but she displays a sensuality when she strokes Saul's cheek that casts doubt upon the depths to which she has plumbed arcane science...
