I first read into the quote in a book called The Gift -- not the one by
Mauss
- -- in a section discussing Ezra Pound.  Later, I saw the Quigley
citation,
that could not find in the writings of William Paterson.  Now I know
why.

But there's a timing problem here. Terrell cites "Personal experiences
and
memories of Pound"; Christopher Hollis, _The Two Nations_, London, 1935.

1935 is earlier than Quigley's book, I thought I saw 1941.

Apparently, Terrell doesn't mean Hollis is the source of the quote, but
is Terrell's source explaining the quote Pound uses. Terrell says Hollis
quotes practically the same words on pg 30 of the Hollis paper.

Pound could not have gotten it from Quigley's book because of timing;
maybe he knew him personally? Perhaps Pound got it from some other
source
as yet not tracked down.

Maybe the Pound email list can help:

I'm fascinated that the quote appears to be spurious.
