A SERIOUS CHARACTER The Life of Ezra Pound By Humphrey Carpenter Houghton Mifflin. 1,005 pp. $40

UNLIKE The Cantos, which no man ever wished longer, this life of poet Ezra Pound could have gone on for another thousand pages and still given pleasure on every one of them.

Scenes set in the American West, London, Paris, Italy and St. Elizabeths Hospital here in Washington. Co-stars who include T.S. Eliot, James Joyce, Yeats and Ford Madox Ford, with cameos by Hemingway, Frost, D.H. Lawrence ...
