EAP, even if jingly at times still has a power few 'Merican writers (fictioneers, or poeticals) ever will attain, and none of the bric a brac interior decoration (which even Pound was guilty of). I think it was due to his rationalism as well as skills at belle-lettres; he was officer candidate at West Point, and would have known a bit about engineering, artillery, trigonometry, etc. And latin, romance languages--he's certainly a linguist as well. Sort of a goth-polymath
