Analysis and comments on Mr. Mistoffelees by T.S. Eliot

Comment 7 of 7, added on April 25th, 2007 at 1:51 AM.

This is my favorite song in Cats and though I haven't read the book all the
way through, T.S. Eliot's poems in "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats"
are some of my favorite peices of poetry ever!!!! I encourage everyone to
read some of his work! It is just so amazing to read and it's a lot of fun
to read too!

Maybe if you were more educated you would understand the context, meaning
and humour behind Eliot's work. Note, correct spelling is heard, not "herd"

This poem is alright-but it kind of leads to NOWHERE! I am only reading it
because of a L.A. project--however, feel free to read what you like.
OH-and please pray that I get a 100! Thanks.

This is the best poem ever. Mistoffelees is my favourite character in the
book and also in the movie.
