we're doing this poem at the moment in school [i live in sydney btw] and
it's a nice poem. t.s.eliot is interestingly depressing. is it just me or
has anyone else noticed 't.s.eliot' is an anagram for 'toilets'? cept his
work isn't too crappy ;)

anyone that thinks this doesnt make sense shouldnt be posting anything on
this sight
this poem exentuates and articulates the hardship and true filth of the
modern world. At a time when the world was blown away by the ramifications
of a modern world only a select view were able to express the emotions and
hash realities attached to this world. This is one of a many amazing poems
wrote at an amazing time by an amazing poet.

I studied this for A-level 40 years ago but I didn't realise what a nice
poem it was until I looked at the first stanza with seven and eight year
olds. TSEliot - good poet.

"wipe your hand across your mouth, and laugh"
