The passage (Enobarbus about Cleopatra) is as follows:
Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale
Her infinite variety. Other women cloy
The appetites they feed, but she makes hungry
Where most she satisfies; for vilest things
Become themselves in her, thet the holy priests
Bless her when she's riggish.
// I rather doubt Eliot would appreciate the comparison. //

An endless affair. An interminable engagement.
I'd have it said of Eliot's poetry:
"Age cannot wither her charms nor stale her passions".
A big THANK YOU for the news, Rick.
Cheers,
CR
