This paper engages with two poems “Portrait of a Lady” and “Portrait D’une Femme” by T.S. Eliot and Ezra Pound, two distinguished pioneers of modernist poetry. The aim of the paper is to examine the two poems which have strikinly similiar titles, in terms of language, form, style and content and to offer an interpretation of the significance of the similarities and differences in the light of some of the critical writings of the two poets.
