Carrol, My post about the devouring tiger refers to the progressive present tense in which the action is ongoing, as in the sentence "The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain." I don't see how a discussion of verb tenses relates to any conspiracy against Eliot. I was indicating that the action was ongoing and not occuring as a completed action in the poem, which addressed Peter's idea that the devouring provided a dramatic climax.
