This study is aimed to explore the harmonious world of Ezra Pound_s poetry with special reference to his notorious long poem deprived from the version of The Cantos of Ezra Pound (1975), the Canto XLIX, which is part of The Fifth Decad of Cantos (1937). The authors employ the recent theory of ecocriticism as a reading lens in the current study engaging three key ecocritical concepts, namely, the harmony with nature, nature as a symbol and the unity with nature.

This quantitative study explores the moderating effects of psychological resilience, feelings of inferiority, and coping style between adult attachment styles and social anxiety among undergraduate students in Gansu, China. Using PLS-SEM and multistage cluster sampling, the research analysed data from 1,371 students using the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale and Adult Attachment Scale. The study's findings articulate a negative direct effect of adult attachment on coping styles (_ = -0.064, T = 4.802, p < 0.001). Conversely, there is a positive direct effect of adult attachment and social anxiety (_ = 0.08, T = 2.057, p = 0.020). Coping style is a significant negative predictor of social anxiety (_ = -0.163, T = 3.384, p < 0.001). Most notably, feelings of inferiority as a moderator positively effect social anxiety (_ = 0.384, T = 11.979, p < 0.001). In contrast, psychological resilience demonstrated a strong negative moderating effect with social anxiety (_ = -0.292, T = 8.46, p < 0.001.....
