Text
Ezra Pound composed at St Elizabeths Hospital Cantos 85-89. Zhang Junmai was taken to the hospital by William McNaughton, a student at Georgetown University and a regular visitor. Zhang Junmai was at work on The development of Neo-Confucian thought (1957). He was enthusiastic as Pound about their meetings and their exchange of ideas. Zhang made the usual objections to Fenollosa's treatment of the Chinese written character. The talk then turned to James Legge and Arthur Waley. Pound remarked : "The trouble with Legge's versions is, whenever Confucius disagrees with St Paul, Legge puts in a footnote to say that Confucius must be wrong."
