    Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that while he renounced the "horrible, suburban prejudice of anti-Semitism," he never explicitly disavowed the fascism. That said, given that his final years were consumed by a depression so deep he spent them in almost complete silence, he was presumably wracked with a guilt that may have made a formal renunciation superfluous.

    Gertrude Stein disliked Pound, partially because he broke her favorite chair. She also said he was a "village explainer, excellent if you were a village, but if not, not."
