Why the exclamation mark?

Pound finds words in Adams to define the quality of his own poem:

	Exercises my lungs, revives my spirits opens my pores
	reading  Tully on Cataline quickens my circulation.
			Canto 73

Actually, Pound's Cantos are fairly easy reading if one just relaxes and
browses in them for a few years. You don't need a pickaxe, as Adams in
the lines just preceding the above says he needed in order to read law:

						Bracton,
	Britten, Fleta on Glanville, must dig with my fingers
	as nobody will lend me or seell me a pick axe.

Pound's certainly easier reading than Bhaskar. :-)
