It would be an interesting subject to study in how many ways

poetry came to Eliot. The poet threw in hints here and there.

What went into its preparation is, of course, another matter.



Cheers!

The Niagara Falls of consciousness. Hmmm. Sounds like a fainting fit! The rapids of consciousness?

Subject: Stream of Consciousness





Why must it be a stream? A river is wider and deeper. The "sea of consciousness" has obvious parallels with the mind, being a continuum of dark depths to illuminated surface, but the ocean as a metaphor lacks the obvious directionality of a stream -- more Bergson's "duration" than a forward-moving flow of time. Perhaps "the English Channel of consciousness" is apt? Diana<
