Omar is the son of Ezra Pound and his wife, Dorothy Shakespeare Pound.
He has a daughter with Olga Rudge,
Mary de Rachewitz. She is the wife of Prince Boris de Rachewiltz, an
Egyptologist. I knew all this but somehow got it reversed.
Incidentally, Wikipedia identifies Olga Rudge as Pound's "mistress," a
bit of an anachronism. And gross in light of the last page of The
Cantos:
That her acts
Olga's acts
of beauty
be remembered
Her name was Courage
& is written Olga
These lines are for the
ultimate CANTO
whatever I may write
in the interim
