The first Bollingen Prize was controversially awarded for the partial completion of this literary work, whose 36th section opens with a translation of Guido Cavalcanti's Donna mi pregha. This poem, whose first section is a free verse adaptation of the underworld visit in the Odyssey, features a section in which Robert Browning is told "there can be but one Sordello!" In the "Fifth Decad" of this poem, its author delivers an invective against usury. The later sections of this poem incorporate (*) Chinese ideograms. "Rock-Drill," and "Pisan" are portions of this poem, which was partly inspired by the author's fascism and arrest in Genoa. For 10 points, name this multi-part poem by Ezra Pound, whose name comes from the Italian for "songs."
