| Description | Sheet of toilet paper showing the beginning of Ezra Pound's The Cantos (1948), possibly written while he was in the custody of American forces in Italy, 1945.It reads: "The enormous tragedy of the dream in the peasant's bent shoulders / Manes! Manes was tanned and stuffed, / Thus Ben and la Clara a Milano / by the heels at Milano / That maggots shd/ eat the dead bullock / Diagonos ... but the twice crucified / where in history will you find it? (Sieburth 2003, p. xxxvi) |

It is an historically significant image showing part of The Pisan Cantos, written in circumstances much discussed by secondary sources. That it was started on a sheet of toilet paper suggests that Pound created it in the steel cage where he was being held on a charge of treason in an American military camp in Pisa, Italy, after the Second World War.
