First, make lemon syrup in small saucepan by bringing 1/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup lemon juice, along with 1/4 cup water, to boil, stirring frequently. Then let cool to room temperature. Brush over both sides of pound cake slices, then quarter the slices. With electric mixer, beat cream cheese and 1/3 cup sugar on high until whipped; with mixer on medium speed, add heavy cream in a steady stream. Continue beating until light and airy. Arrange half the cake pieces in the bottom of trifle dish (2 quart clear serving dish), then spoon over cream mixture in dollops, smoothing out to spread across cake layer. Scatter some of the fruit on top; then repeat with another cake layer, cream layer, and fruit layer until all is gone. Have fruit be top layer. Chill at least 1 hour before serving.
