there's a little-known Pound poem, "A Girl," that's both actually comprehensible and very Marcus
I'm headed for bed, but I just wanted you to know that I will be checking up on this. If you have actually managed to find a comprehensible Pound poem... well, I will be deeply shocked, and may well have to write an apologetic note to my poetry professor. Now, Eliot... him, I admit, I adore. I mostly view Pound as the universe's way of making sure that Eliot would happen and get noticed. ♥ (And you did have to point out that Marcus would totally be the type for both Donne and Yeats, didn't you? Particularly Donne, who is... such a prat, sometimes. But yes.)
As for Auden, I can only say that I think Marcus would appreciate "Roman Wall Blues." And of course, "The More Loving One."
Although pretty much everything Delenn does from S1 through that episode is ironic given "Atonement"...
I'm still disappointed that The Boy figured out Delenn's part in the war on his own before we saw that episode. Obviously I was being too overt in my glee at her various moments of being awesome and scary and so on. I just love how that episode turns our understanding of her inside out just a bit.
The intersection of the vertical stripe and the gold stat bars still makes it look like they're wearing crosses, like modern-day Crusaders.
...I'm just going to pretend that I'd noticed that all along, shall I? o_O I knew something was niggling at me about those damned things...
One bad thing about Bester: You're never entirely sure how you've been screwed.
