You misspelt genius

Pound maybe, but Crane? C'mon son

do you care to support that claim

Used to hate him before I started really close reading him. Fuck man, his early shit is unbearably repetitive (single line time-phrases, stuff about lamps and sawdust etc), but when he gets into the swing of things Eliot is probably the best american poet (despite his being in the words of another anon "a bitchboy anglophile traitor).

Traitor, no, but he really did want to be English.

End of the endless
Journey to no end
Conclusion of all that
Is inconclusible

Who then devised the torment? Love.
Love is the unfamiliar Name
Behind the hands that wove
The intolerable shirt of flame
Which human power cannot remove.
We only live, only suspire
Consumed by either fire or fire

Eliot is probably the most quotable poet ever

>And I will show you something different from either
>Your shadow at morning striding behind you
>Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you;
>I will show you fear in a handful of dust

>Eyes I dare not meet in dreams
>In death's dream kingdom

>I should have been a pair of ragged claws
>Scuttling across the floors of silent seas.

>The sea was calm, your heart would have responded
>Gaily, when invited, beating obedient
>To controlling hands

>I sat upon the shore
>Fishing, with the arid plain behind me
>Shall I at least set my lands in order?

Slash.

Does anyone have a pdf copy of Knowledge and Experience in the Philosophy of F.H. Bradley by Eliot?

My school even has access to the journal where it was published, but that is part of the 'withheld date ranges.' Obviously, it's been digitized because it's on Google books or scholar or whatever. And all the other mega-data bases just give me wenises writing about Eliot writing about Bradly


Also, what do you guys think is essential Eliot reading.
The Golden Bough. The Divine Comedy. The Philosophy of Bradly. Anything else that he draws heavily from?

And Conrad. He originally wanted to start The Wasteland with a quote from Heart of Darkness but Pound poo-pooed that as not being esoteric/grandiose enough, which normally would irk me, but that Sibyl passage...
