For what it's worth, I was reading the English poet W. H. Auden the 
other night and was astonished to come across a reference to Pareto. It 
occurs in Auden's long poem, /Letter to Lord Byron/ (1937):

> But if in highbrow circles he would sally
>
> It's just as well to warn him there's no stain on
>
> Picasso, all-in wrestling, or the Ballet.
>
> Sibelius is the man. To get a pain on
>
> Listening to Elgar is a sine qua non.
>
> A second-hand acquaintance of Pareto's
>
> Ranks higher than an intimate of Plato's.
>

I take it the "he" is Byron, although that's not entirely clear.
