Thomas Stearns Eliot OM (26 September 1888 – 4 January 1965) was a British, American-born essayist, publisher, playwright, literary and social critic, and "one of the twentieth century's major poets". He immigrated to England in 1914 at age 25, settling, working and marrying there. He was eventually naturalised as a British subject in 1927 at age 39, renouncing his American citizenship.
Eliot attracted widespread attention for his poem The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock (1915), which is seen as a masterpiece of the Modernist movement. It was followed by some of the best-known poems in the English language, including The Waste Land (1922), The Hollow Men (1925), Ash Wednesday (1930), and Four Quartets (1945). He is also known for his seven plays, particularly Murder in the Cathedral (1935). He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1948, "for his outstanding, pioneer contribution to present-day poetry."
The Eliots were a Boston family with roots in Old and New England. Thomas Eliot's paternal grandfather, William Greenleaf Eliot, had moved to St. Louis, Missouri to establish a Unitarian Christian church there. His father, Henry Ware Eliot (1843–1919), was a successful businessman, president and treasurer of the Hydraulic-Press Brick Company in St. Louis; his mother, Charlotte Champe Stearns (1843–1929), wrote poetry and was a social worker, a new profession in the early twentieth century. Eliot was the last of six surviving children; his parents were both 44 years old when he was born. His four sisters were between eleven and nineteen years older; his brother was eight years older. Known to family and friends as Tom, he was the namesake of his maternal grandfather, Thomas Stearns.

Check out my Twitter feed at https://twitter.com/bob_toomey. A rare recording taken from a live interview T. S. Eliot did for the BBC, broadcast during World War II. The original audio was pretty bad, but I cleaned it up as best I could. The thing that comes through most clearly is that nobody reads Eliot like Eliot.

Modern Poetry (ENGL 310) with Langdon Hammer The early poetry of T.S. Eliot is examined. Differences between Pound and Eliot, in particular the former's interest in translation versus the latter's in quotation, are suggested. Eliot's relationship to tradition is considered in his essay, "Tradition and the Individual Talent." The early poem, "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" is read, with emphasis on the poem's resistance to traditional forms and its complicated depiction of its speaker's fragmentary consciousness. 00:00 - Chapter 1.

Hysteria -T. S. Eliot As she laughed I was aware of becoming involved in her laughter and being part of it, until her teeth were only accidental stars with a talent for squad-drill. I was drawn in by short gasps, inhaled at each momentary recovery, lost finally in the dark caverns of her throat, bruised by the ripple of unseen muscles. An elderly waiter with trembling hands was hurriedly spreading a pink and white checked cloth over the rusty green iron table, saying: “If the lady and gentleman wish to take their tea in the garden, if the lady and gentleman wish to take their tea in the garden ...” I decided that if the shaking of her breasts could be stopped, some of the fragments of the afternoon might be collected, and I concentrated my attention with careful subtlety to this end.

Listen to the full audiobook: http://hotaudiobook.com/mabk/30/en/B001MXQ7B0/book First published in 1953, this magnificent work will be remembered in ages to come as one of our century's most important legacies. Written during a time when liberalism was heralded as the only political and intellectual tradition in America, there is no doubt that this book is largely responsible for the rise of conservatism as a viable and credible creed.kirk defines "the conservative mind" by examining such brilliant men as Edmund Burke, James Fenimore Cooper, Alexis de Tocqueville, John Quincy Adams, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Benjamin Disraeli, Cardinal Newman, George Santayana, and finally, T.s. Eliot. Vigorously written, the book represents conservatism as an ideology born of sound intellectual traditions.

Click your heels, feel you come for me
Care free, she's got something big to tell me
At the ocean, talk back at the ocean
There's no simple way to let you know
Funny how she always cried out daddy
I got a big surprise, she said:
I'm in trouble now and it cannot wait
She's ten days late
Boy your life got complicated
Well I can't wait, to see this through
She's ten days late, ten days late
Low ride bicycles go cruising by
I laugh, I don't even know why
Talk back at the ocean
Consequence and ozone catch a glow
Oh no baby, oh, no, no
Give me a minute now to figure out my state
Oh, I know she's ten days late
And I don't know where to take it
But it's still great knowing you
She's ten days late, ten days late
Time has come for you to chose
Baby daddy keep your boo
Many blessings come to you
Baby daddy keep your boo
Baby daddy keep your boo
Baby daddy keep your boo
Your eyes look to me for what to do
I can't lie, uh, uh, I don't know
At the ocean and, talk back at the ocean
No ones laughing now what do I say
You walk away, wait, no, no don't go
At the ocean and, talk back at the ocean
Give me a minute now to figure out my state
She's ten days late
And I'm never gonna fade it
I guess I'll always be knowing you
Knowing you, knowing you
