  • Good God.

    This is the stuff.

    I recently read the first quartet ("In my beginning is my end...") to my grandmother in her hospital bed.

    T.S. Eliot, man.

  • His finger on the pulse of that which we can't quite put our finger on. Please post more!

  • Now that´s a real Saint Louis accent.

  • The town seethed like Laocoon within its concentric ring roads. I followed the signs for the centre, but, after I'd spent fifteen minutes obediently going where the signs told me, they had brought me back to where I'd begun. The end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time. I didn't know that T. S. Eliot had been on the Basingstoke Urban District Council Highways (Ring Roads and Street Furniture) Committee!

    poetry writing love

  • A nice portal into Christian mysticism. Eliot is one of my favorites of all time.

  • What's large and grey and writes sad poetry?

    T.S. Elephant

    This one is for me:

    Do not let me hear of the wisdom of old men,

    But rather of their folly, their fear of fear and frenzy,

    Their fear of belonging to other, or to another

    Or to God.

    The only wisdom we can hope to acquire

    Is the wisdom of humility. Humility is endless.

  • Who then devised the torment? Love. Love is the unfamiliar Name.... TSE quotes Dame Julian of Norwich, Revelations of Divine Love, as part of Little Gidding, the forth of the Q.

    I've been on the TSE list for many years, a sort of high brow unmoderated chat room where I've met some lasting friends. I visited some of them in the US. And I have this useless affliction of memorizing poetry I like. Still working on 4Q...

    Who said one cannot read 4Q, one can only re-read it..?

  • Actually, the first one I think is "Time present and time past..." That is what I meant. That is what I meant at all.
