Mr. Darcy has assended to new heights of Mr. Darciness, movingtrucks and coffee make me happy as do old houses and spring, I miss Anna. Funny how you can miss someone you live with. Something tells me that she won't be too glad if I wake her up for a chat right now...

I

LOVE

T.S. ELIOT

ps.
Have you ever read the story of Hyacinth, of Greek Mythology? It's kind of sad.

I don't believe I have read that one..

Natalie- I will explain everything to you just as soon as I have a moment in which to call you.

I don't really know what brought Eliot up... I suppose spring time in general and hyacinths.

"You gave me hyacinths first a year ago..." is from The Waste Land, pt. 1, Burial of the Dead

Oops, that was me. Forgot to log in

Holy Smokes, what brings up Eliot? I'm writing a term paper on The Waste Land today. It's got to be 10 pages, I'm a bit daunted.

stevenleland April 30 2006, 12:28:28 UTC

What are you going to say? Just curious.

ledcoe April 30 2006, 17:55:48 UTC

That redemptive love can't survive in The Waste Land, and that it has to be an outside force (The Hanged Man, the third and hooded figure -- Christ) to be the one to bring it in. Basically. It's got to be 10 pages, so I've written more than that.
What would you say about it, as a whole?

ledcoe May 1 2006, 11:43:52 UTC

I'd say that I really like it.
Seriously, though, I'd be very interested in reading your paper. Could you email me it? My email is shteve (at) gmail.com.
