Additional quotes by T.S. Eliot
If Hell is where nothing connects, then being in the field of English must be the key to heaven's door! We are in the business of finding connections — within texts, between texts and contexts, between texts and ourselves, between our readings and the readings of other interpreters.

Slipped by the terrace, made a sudden leap
And seeing that it was a soft October night
Curled once about the house, and fell asleep
