 Tiffany finds that, in "Canto" 77, Pound refers to Smith as "the wraith of my best friend", an allusion to Dante's description of his best friend, Guido Cavalcanti; Mary Paterson Cheadle concurs with this conclusion, though she suggests sculptor Henri Gaudier-Brzeska as another possibility.Tiffany describes Smith as still "haunting" Pound in "Hugh Selwyn Mauberley", as Elpenor to Odysseus, and writes that, ultimately, Pound was unable to put the "ghost" to rest.Letters between Smith and Pound were rediscovered by James J. Wilhelm and published in 1990.
