• 4 Classic Christmas Reads

  
  Matador Goods — Authority: 498
  Photos by stuartpilbrow Christmas is my favorite time of the year. Apart from compunctious chocolate eating and watching endless reruns of Friends on television, it’s also that time of the year when I spend time with friends and extended family scattered across the globe. Though I had a few Christian friends ...

• The Art of Looking Sideways

  
  Beth Kephart Books — Authority: 476
  "... the larger part of the labour of an author in composing his work is critical labour; the labour of shifting, combining, constructing, expunging, correcting, testing." This is T.S. Eliot, quoted on page 424 of The Art of Looking Sideways , the final present of perhaps five dozen presents that I now wrap so that ...

  Misadventures of the Monster Farmer-Librarian — Authority: 128

  Permeated with commercial hustle and cultural bustle, the days before Christmas are ferociously busy. It’s a time of almost continuous activity.

  The Bi-College News Online — Authority: 127
  By Maddie Hoagland-Hanson A week or so ago, as I lay on my common room floor reading Wallace Stevens and trying to think intelligently (a task I have been finding increasingly difficult of late), I was disturbed by a rush of loud music from the apartment below mine, accompanied by the palpable thump of an electric ...

  I recommend watching this post and the previous one at the exact same time. Also, I think he’s reading it wrong. I will offer an alternate interpretation soon. [ coudal ] Tagged: eliot, poetry, reading, t.s. eliot, the waste land, video, youtube

  When Falls the Coliseum — Authority: 487
  I have a house full of books. Every room in the house has bookshelves. Last summer, I put four new six foot tall shelves in the basement and filled them, front and back — that got the books off the floor around the rest of the house. That’s the second time I’ve done this. So, some people like the clutter of ...

• Another Installment of... Of Being Quiet: On Bridges, Modernism, and Experimentation

  
  Squandermania and other foibles — Authority: 491
  Was Robert Bridges a modernist? Naw.  No comment box agitation here!  Was T.S. Eliot a modernist?  Oh, sure!  Curiously... As Christopher Ricks notes, much in a Dantesque (a word dating, by the way, from the 19th century) passage of Little Gidding II owes its verse movement, its (dare we call it) mastery, to ...

  Chronicles Of The Return — Authority: 127
  Somewhere in Laos: October 29, 2008 It was a boat trip for the ages.

  POETS ONLINE - the blog — Authority: 106
  T.S. Eliot reading "The Waste Land." Nothing much visually, but interesting to hear the poet reading. It has been called "one of the most important poems of the 20th century."

  Front Porch Republic — Authority: 131
  Devon, PA.  In February 2007, as the Iraq war crept to the end of its fourth year, I published this short essay, proposing a few notions on foreign policy that I had rattling in my head.  When writing it, I sometimes grew nervous, deranged by the prospect that someone might actually read this and find it in some ...

• The Fool Fixed in His Folly: Some Lines from T.S. Eliot

  
  Antiquitopia — Authority: 117
  Perhaps in the alliterative tradition of Shakespeares "Full fathom five thy father lies" (Tempest 1.2.329), T.S. Eliot renders in his own play about Thomas Becket, "Murder in the Cathedral": The fool, fixed in his folly, may think He can turn the wheel on which he turns. These lines come in the midst of a scene ...
