    Greetings!

    ARgh!!!

    T.S.Eliot!!!

    Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

    Sorry, flashback to Modern Literature there, I'll be okay. The shock of the poetry actually erased large parts of my memory of the course... either that or the 6" nail I hammered into my forehead to ease the pain one afternoon in lecture...

    Eru eru eru seth the noviate

    Wildly gibing by the noise-some dock

    Has-pash-kath'lemtil is his escusthion

    Hang him by the goolies where wath

    Hibble gibble, yet more drivel

    Dark and dank and seamey under in

    Loi-latar Gilthoniel! Elves run amok

    Whilst all is measured by the clock

    Don't you think old T.S. was a pretentious, depressing, not particulary good, annoying little poet? Quite why it is in the least bit good to fit seven dead languages in almost as many lines, I don't know...

    ... he should have stuck with Cats

    LOL I have all of his stuff and have recently come to the same conclusion. Give me Pasternak or Yeats any day. Any poem that could function as both a song and literature is cool with me. Hart Crane is another slight T.S.-like organism, but his stuff is more lyrical.

    I love Yeats, though, he is the end-all poet for me.

    Literary allusion yes. Partly because after too many years I have finally begun university. Thanks for all the welcomes.

    Hi Prufrock,

    What are you studying at Uni?

    Just curious - I am a trifle nosey - comes from being a mother.

    My specialist is in English lit, and I am doing a minor in Psychology. Incidentally I came across an interesting section under Social Psychology which could have been written about the witnesses. I don't have my text book with me right now but I will post it later.
