  • @domkc89 Yes...but James Joyce was a 'writer' and therefore deserving of understanding. Although I know she didn not rank him as highly as Proust. Vivian was not a writer and therefore could happily be described as a 'bag of ferrets' dragging down the genius of Eliot regardless of any human concerns. Whatever she actively did the diary entry obviously shows a lack of sympathy that you would expect Woolf, of all people, to have with the mentally ill.

  • @BelatedCommiseration I find that a little bit biased. Vivien was not Woolf, nor was Woolf Vivien. Woolf had a huge amount of understanding for James Joyce (who was in no man's-or woman's club) and wrote positively about him in many essays. I don't think she helped the situation, but she didin't actively disrupt their marriage, or say anything publicly that might offend Eliot. I think your comment isn't appropriate-sorry.

  • Hmmm...bit of an unkind reaction to Vvivan by Virginia Woolf...given her own rather signifcant mental problems and the fact she had a breakdown herself by this time you might have thought her to be a bit more understanding than that...but then she was always a notoriously self absorbed character who only seemed willing to understand other peoples problems if they were in the exclusive 'writers club; she inhabited so I suppose its not surprising.

  • Why, T.S. Eliot, why do you dislike the cows?

    They stare at you, fine, but they do not look

    for you're innocence...

    Those are stupid who cannot bear their gaze.

  • Poetry in motion!

  • the part edits in this series are horrible

  • What a cliffhanger - Ralph Fiennes reading the Four Quartets interrupted in the middle.
