At one point, I thought that Eliot may be the best poet of the twentieth century. After re-reading this text, I am still of the same mind. Of course, I tend to not think greatly of the verse dramas.

The Hollow Men TS Eliot 1925...
Those who have crossed
With direct eyes, to death‘s other #Kingdom
Remember us- if at all - not as lost
Violent souls, but only
As the hollow men
The stuffed men.

#PoetryMatters #Time
Go , said the bird,for the leaves were full of children, Hidden , excitedly, containing laughter.
Go, go , go , said the bird: human kind
Cannot bear very much reality.
Time past and time future .....

I remember
Those are pearls that were his eyes
From The Waste Land , 1922.

#PoetryMatters #Home ❤️❤️❤️... Here and there does not matter. We must be still and still moving Into another intensity For a further union, a deeper communion Through the dark cold and the empty desolation, The wave cry , the wind cry , the vast waters of the petrel and the porpoise. In my end is my beginning.
#quotsyapril18 #Laughter Hysteria
As she laughed I was aware of becoming involved in her laughter and being part of it....an elderly waiter saying ... “
if the lady & gentleman wish to take their tea in the garden.. “
I decided that if the shaking of her breasts could be stopped, some of the fragments of the afternoon might be collected....
❤️T S Eliot 1917
#QuotsyMarch18 #women
From Prufrock:
....In the room the women come & go
Talking of Michelangelo.....
#QuotsyFeb #cat @TK-421 .
The Rum Tum Tugger doesn‘t care for a cuddle; But he‘ll leap on your lap in the middle of your sewing, For there‘s nothing he enjoys like a horrible muddle. Yes the rum tum tugger is a curious cat - and there isn‘t any need for me to spout it:
For he will do
As he do do
And there‘s no doing anything about it.
TS Eliot : The Rum Tum Tugger
#DecDays #seasonsoflove @Cinfhen from Four Quartets : “There is a time for the evening under starlight, A time for the evening under lamplight( the evening with the photograph album). Love is most nearly itself When here & now cease to matter “ .......
#TuneIntoNovember #HereItGoesAgain @Cinfhen @Robothugs #Hereitgoesagain preparation for another nights sleep : “You have the key, The little lamp spreads a ring on the stair. Mount. The bed is open; the tooth-brush hangs on the wall, Put your shoes at the door, sleep, prepare for life. The last twist of the knife.” From : Rhapsody on a Windy Night. T S Eliot.
I have had this stuck in my head all day. I am apparently feeling fatalistic today.
