T. S. Eliot Quotes:
Ocupation: Playwright
Life: September 26, 1888 - January 4, 1965
Birthday: September 26
Death: January 4
Should I, after tea and cakes and ices, Have the strength to force the moment to its crisis? But though I have wept and fasted, wept and prayed, Though I have seen my head (grown slightly bald) brought in upon a platter, I am no prophet--and here's no great matter; I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker, I have seen the eternal Footman hold my coat, and snicker, And in short, I was afraid.
