Quite apart from the issue of what Kate said, why does one need
to like Eliot's personality to have a passionate interest in his
poetry?
======================================================
Gee. And I hought a person's personality, life style, and
sex life accounted for everything in his poetry. Know the life and
know the poem. ;->

Maybe biography should be the only topic considered off
topic on this list.

Cheers,
Peter
