wait wait, this is getting way too meta- "didn't quite Eliot" that's meant to be a typo joke then, yeah?

and yes, ok, I can't type, that last post was actually from me, not taylor. it was adressed to taylor.
but you're right tay, you didn't quite Eliot. you just misinterpreted him.

sorry - not hating to be nitpicky at all - but the fact is, the particular work you made reference to does not reflect that sentiment at all. And If you weren't making refernce to that particular work, which one were you making reference to?

mary, I hate to be nitpicky, but nowhere in my post did I quote TS Eliot. I made only passing reference to his literary work. I DID quote Kurt Cobain, Neil Young, and Refused. Eliot however, I did not.

Taylor - I hate to be nitpicky (well I don't about poetry)...but you misquoted T.S. Eliot. It's actually:
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper. (The Hollow Men, 1925).
Sorry.
At any rate, I much prefer this quotation for "Little Gidding":
We shall not cease from exploration
And at the end of all our exploring
We shall arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time. ("Little Gidding", Four Quartets)
