SummaryIn the second week of November 1913, William Butler Yeats and Ezra Pound arrived in Sussex for what would be a three-year stay at Stone Cottage. Yeats thought of the excursion as an “experiment,” while Pound felt that it would “not be in the least profitable” (Longenbach 37). Yeats was twenty years Pound’s senior, and Pound became his secretary when the two poets decided to spend their winters in Stone Cottage. A friendship was formed.
