on his return from italy to the usa in 1945 pound was charged for treason for broadcasting anti american propoganda. he was acquitted in 1946 but was committed to a psychiatric institution where he remained until 1958. he enjoyed considerable acclaim for his poetic works after this and retired to italy where he lived as a recluse. he died in 1972.
