Abstract

When H. P. Blavatsky, the controversial head of the turn of the century movement Theosophy, defined ""a true Theosophist"" in her book The Key to Theosophy, she could have just as easily have been describing W. B. Yeats. Blavatsky writes, ""A true Theosophist must put in practice the loftiest moral ideal, must strive to realize his unity with the whole of humanity, and work ceaselessly for others.""

In fact, it was precisely because Eliot knew Pound to be well informed about the occult that he asked for Pound's assistance with The Waste Land.
