Note the rhythm of the exchanges between Michael and Doug. Michael quotesd a passage -- quite clear in itself.

Complexisty (difficulty) can be built into single sentences or paragraphs, OR it can emerge from a collocation of a number of paragrphs all "clear" in themselves.

Incidentally -- I think the difficulty of the first three chapters of Capital is to some extent of this latter kind.

And the difficulty of Pound's Cantos is _entirely_ of this sort. All the lines and phrasesd are wholly clear in themselves; the difficulty is in consruing what emerges from the whole.
