His 'brilliant' dismissal of the dear old relic at the end 'falls heavily among the bric-à-brac'; but, unlike Mr. Eliot's young visitor, he doesn't notice.From The Poetic Achievement of Ezra Pound.
Copyright © 1969 by Hugh Witemeyer.For some poets an attack on women became a kind of set piece of their early careers, almost a necessary apprentice undertaking, one of the decorously validated component of an appropriately marketed literary career.
In both cases the poets have apparently come to believe that Western civilization, in a period of decline, has erroneously given over to women the authority to maintain its threatened traditions. Like Masefield's 'Quinquireme', the woman is interesting chiefly for her cargo; she is a Sargasso Sea of quaint wrecks, of cultural trophies and memories. And bright ships left you this or that in fee: Ideas, old gossip, oddments of all things, Strange spars of knowledge and dimmed wares of price.
The lady is a collection of curiosities, not a person; her identity is defined by her trophies. . Thus Eliot in his much looser, more meditative and dialogic "Portrait of a Lady" and Pound in his rhetorically focused and almost univocal "Portrait d'une Femme" both show us women of baubles and bric-a-brac who lead men and their civilization to its collective doom.That is not to say that there is nothing to admire in these poems. We are also happy to take questions and suggestions for future materials.
The sea also symbolizes this woman's reluctance to tie herself down; the sea flows on and on forever, collecting whatever it finds, and the woman would rather do the same rather than dropping anchor somewhere.

The poem is a study of the second-rate qualified by the poet's implied awareness of third, fourth, and fifth rates. Yet despite her lack of unity, the lady is not nothing. Like other ladies in early Pound, Eliot, or Lewis, she is and has long been a hostess in the salon world, the object of ambiguous feeling on the part of the iconoclasts who drink her tea.
This poem paints an obscure image of a woman, beginning with a handful of sea metaphors describing her and her interactions with other people. There is nothing ... that's quite your own"). She has been living in London for at least twenty years ("score" means twenty). In the whole and all, / Nothing that's quite your own. Pound admits these creatures have their allure; one alas repeatedly turns to them in fascination to see glittering "trophies fished up," bright riches that distract but have no substance. "Pound uses a prosaic and flexible blank verse and portrays the "lady" by means of the extended metaphor of the "Sargasso Sea," a relatively static area of the North Atlantic stretching between the West Indies and the Azores, where the currents deposit masses of seaweed (or "sargasso").
Despite this ongoing exchange, there is nothing that truly belongs to the woman, but this transience defines her. Great minds have sought you—lacking someone else. The speaker finishes by emphasizing that despite all the tidbits this woman has accumulated, none of it is truly her own. Thus the two poems are written in quite divergent voices.
