Just to build a canalbetween stream of consciousness and the primitive I would offer the following rivers of which Eliot was VERY conscious and which help to identify the core character of The Hollow Men: Styx - Classical Acheron - Dante (a branch of the Styx) Thames and Congo - Conrad Thanes and the tumid river and the river with cargo of dead negrtos - Eliot ========================= Consider the souls with no coins under their tongues Consider the Christian equivalent.
