The Pleasures Of: Episode 7

T.S. Eliot

I really don't know what to do with this one. Go read the fucking Waste Land.

Okay, you're right. I should do more. Fine then, here are some of my favorite quotes from this favorite of poets:

"I love you. I am the milkman of human kindness;
I will leave an extra pint."

"I saw two shooting stars last night.
I wished on them, but they were only satellites.
It's wrong to wish on space hardware --
I wish, I wish, I wish you'd care."

"I paid the union and as times got harder
I looked to the government to help the working man;
And they brought prosperity down at the armory
'We're arming for peace me boys'
Between the wars"

"I've had relations
With girls of many nations.
I've made passes
At women of all classes.
And just because you're gay
I won't turn you away --
If you stick around
I'm sure that we could find some common ground."
