Brunnenburg, with vine terraces on its slopes, with a family in its farmhouse to work its modest lands, belonged in the 1950's to Prince Boris de Rachewiltz, an Italian Egyptologist. . . . His correspondence with Ezra Pound commenced because he had married Pound's daughter (broad-browed, amber-headed, her father's image). And Brunnenburg, in July 1958, was the poet's place of return from his Washington exile. He was installed in the tower room below the top one; the archives came up from Rapallo; the Gaudier sketch went on the wall; the Gaudier head was carried by strong men into the garden; he made chairs, shelves, a long table; he set to work on the final typescript of Thrones; he drafted bits for the last run of Cantos. . . . He felt good, he estimated, for 20 more years. "At last I have found a setting."
