[In a letter to Pound] It is my ambition to present your work to the lazier readers of our time. That sounds presumptuous. It is presumptuous. And I know how much work it involves. Reading your prose carefully, and reading the things you suggest should be read, will take time. But the time so spent will be much rewarded…. But should you disapprove of the project I shall desist.
