Its ironic I just added rereading those to my reading list. I haevn't touched them since about 2nd grade. They were really good then, because no one was reading them, they were kind of being forgotten and i love picking up a book that is supposed to be good and it actually is

I forgot Everlasting Man. That book was quite influential to C.S. Lewis.

your's too? I read Far. 451 in 8th grade, and it got me obsessed with dystopian fiction for years afterwords.

I should also mention that Charles Williams work has been very important to me, especially Descent Into Hell. I just don't own any copies of it.

oh, you have to read The Wasteland and Four Quartets. There's an excellent website somewhere that has The Wasteland, in frames, with hypertext, so you can click on almost every word and figure out what Eliot's referencing. And Four Quartets is just stunningly beautiful.

Hurrah, Eliot! I'm not much of a poetry reader (not really an Eliot reader either, come to think of it), but The Hollow Men is superb. Truely lovely stuff.

He's quoting her directly, actually. A lot of his work is referencing things, and letting those associations enrich his work. He especially does that in The Wasteland.

I don't know Elliot, but I think he's paraphrasing Dame Julien of Norwich there.
