	Ezra Pound
		Pound's controversial insanity plea is mirrored by the fate of Norwegian author and collaborator Knut Hamsun, who was similarly dubbed insane by embarassed authorities despite evidence (in the form of subsequent published material) to the contrary.
		Pound was most happy in his relations with fellow-poets, like Elizabeth Bishop, who recorded her response to Pounds tragic situation in the poem "Visits to St. Elizabeths," and Robert Lowell, who visited and corresponded extensively with Pound.
		Pound did much to publicize the movement and was instrumental in bringing it to the attention of the wider public (he was particularly important in the artistic careers of Henri Gaudier-Brzeska and Wyndham Lewis).

	On "Canto I"
		Pound knew that the shape of Odysseus's quest has survived through millenia, but he also knew that the means for its survival has been a long series of metamorphoses into the particular words of new places, new times.
		Pound half-dramatizes his relationship with what he is rendering by glossing his aside to Divus for our benefit; but we are meant to see that Pound is protagonist as well as author.
		In fact, Pound carries into his text Divus' corrupted text that reads "’A second time?'" The whole canto is riddled with repetitions that mark the failure to carry over into Pound's own language the translation unmarred by the presence of death.

	The Origin of English Metrics
		The structure of English measures in which the rod is 16/½ feet and the chain (width of the acre) is 66 feet, indicate that the English foot was conceived as 10/11 of another unit which is the pes Drusianus.
		The present pound avoirdupois is 453.6 grams; The history of the submultiples of the English cubit foot has been influenced by the effort to reduce the number of pounds or pints in a cubit foot to either 60 or 64.
		The submultiples of the English foot have been influenced by their confusion with the very similar submultiples of the artaba (cube of the artabic foot of 307.796 mm.) The artaba is 9/8 of basic talent netto (cube of the Roman foot) and 27/25 of basic talent brutto (cube of the Egyptian foot).

	Ernest Fenollosa, Ezra Pound, Chinese
		In 1954 Ezra Pound published his translation of the third of the Chinese Classics under the title "The Classic Anthology Defined by Confucius." (Harvard University Press) It was immediately recognized that these translations, or "translucences", as some call them, stood in a different category from the numerous ones that had preceded.
		Pound is not a professional student of the Chinese language, like Legge, Giles, Waley, Karlgren, and others who have tried their hand at translating the Book of Odes into English.
		The poems in Cathay, translated by Pound "from the notes of the late Ernest Fenollosa, and the decipherings of the Professors Mori and Ariga" (1915), are given a conventional interpretation.

	Ezra Pound
		Pound's major work was the Cantos, which was published in ten sections between 1925 and 1969, and then as a one-volume collected edition, THE CANTOS OF EZRA POUND I-CXVII (1970).
		Pound soon lost interest in Imagism, and after disputing with the poet Amy Lowell, Pound called the movement "Amygism." With Wyndham Lewis and the sculptor Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, who was killed in 1915, he founded 'Vorticism', which produced a magazine, Blast.
		Pound's translations based on Fenollosa's notes, collected in CATHAY (1915), are considered among the most beautiful of his writings.

	Pound sterling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The pound was originally the value of one Troy pound of sterling silver (hence "pound sterling").
		The pound sterling, established in 1560–61 by Elizabeth I and her advisers, foremost among them Sir Thomas Gresham, brought order to the financial chaos of Tudor England that had been occasioned by the "Great Debasement" of the coinage, which in turn brought on a debilitating inflation during the years 1543–51.
		Pound sterling was used as the currency of many parts of the British Empire.

		Pound's controversial insanity plea is mirrored by the fate of Norwegian author and collaborator Knut Hamsun, who was similarly dubbed insane by embarrassed authorities despite evidence (in the form of subsequent published material) to the contrary.
		Allen Ginsberg, in an interview with Michael Reck, stated that Pound seemed to regret many of his past actions, and that he regretted that his work was tainted with "that stupid, suburban prejudice of anti-Semitism" [1], although contemporaneous letters published in recent years indicate that he was still unrepentantly anti-Semitic.
		Pound is also referenced in the Bob Dylan song Desolation Row; on the album Highway 61 Revisited.

		Apparently you know the answer: the abbreviation is not a shortening of the English word pound, but of the Latin word libra, which was an equivalent unit.
		The avoirdupois pound is sometimes abbreviated lb av or lb ap to distinguish it from the less common troy pound.
		I haven't been able to find any detailed history of the abbreviation; perhaps the Oxford English Dictionary would help to confirm when and how "lb" was first used--whether in a Latin context or English, and whether it meant the English pound or not.
