T. S. Eliot
I am glad you have a Cat, but I do not believe it is So remarkable a cat as My Cat.
T. S. Eliot
At the violet hour, when the eyes and back Turn upward from the desk, when the human engine waits Like a taxi throbbing waiting I Tiresias, though blind, throbbing between two lives.
T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
