Showing posts with the label T.S. Eliot

That kind of a day

... There will be time, there will be time To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet; There will be time to murder and create, And time for all the works and days of hands That lift and drop a question on your plate; Time for you and time for me, And time yet for a hundred indecisions , And for a hundred visions and revisions, Before the taking of a toast and tea. (excerpt from) The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock --T.S. Eliot Trivia--C.S. Lewis thought Eliot marked the decline of poetry. For JT (short). Eliot was born in St. Louis, and after attending a preparatory for Wash U., went to Milton Academy for a year, and from there to Harvard. ( JT went to Wash U. and did not study poetry).
