You may also like Swinburne if you like sound. If he means something by it, I think it's best overlooked.

Vic, Prufrock seems to run around and around through my head (but then Lauren is often quoting it and that may help the effect.) You see him so vividly. And he has his socks pulled all the way up.

Ruben wanted to have this text from Eliot printed on our wedding invitations:

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.


(we had a verse from Jeremiah instead.)

After two days, he will revive us; on the third day he will raise us up, that we may live before him.
Let us know; let us press on to know the LORD; his going out is sure as the dawn; he will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth.
