I was surprised by Eliot's poetry, which had more humor to it than I expected. Some of it was obscure but even those were not unpleasant. This collection of 24 poems included 4 that were entirely in French, which is one reason for 4 stars rather than 5 (my French is too rusty to effectively tackle poetry!).

" You do not know how much they mean to me, my friends, And how, how rare and strange it is, to find In a life composed so much, so much of odds and ends, (For indeed I do not love it ... you knew? you are not blind How keen you are ) To find a friend who has these qualities, Who has, and gives Those qualities upon which friendship lives. How much it means that I say this to you Without these friendships life, what cauchemar " Among the windings of the violins And the ariettes Of cracked cornets Inside my brain a dull tom-tom begins Absurdly hammering a prelude of its own, Capricious monotone That is at least one definite " false note."
