I like it all!

You know, really, I just like Eliot, even as much as I like the fact that he didn’t write everything down with a diamond flair the first time through – he had to have help and revise!
Four quartets is more formally interesting, the Waste Land is a great display of fragment and collage.

I think I have FINALLY figured out from whence this whole Eliot discussion springs. I was confused, because I only recently (October) started reading the Wasteland, and haven’t (November) finished. I think it came from you not liking Four Quartets? Well, so far, Pound or no Pound, I am not liking Wasteland as much as Four Quartets. So are we still friends? :P

Part of me just doesn’t believe a REAL friend would disagree with me about Star Wars, Buffy, or any other VIP art work. Sometimes I try to argue people into my opinions. Which rarely works.

And PS: Get the copy of the original fascimile of The Waste Land, and behold Pound (and Vivian’s) notes upon Eliot’s lame, lame first draft. I have it! Read it and weep, O non-believer in Pound’s editorial skills :)
