Speaking of Eliot, here is a funny quote about him from the late Kurt Vonnegut:
"It is piquant to me that one of the greatest poets and one of the greatest playwrights of this century would both deny that they were from the Middle West, specifically from St. Louis, Missouri. I mean T. S. Eliot, who wound up sounding like the Archbishop of Canterbury, and Tennessee Williams, a product of Washington Universityin St. Louis and the University of Iowa, who wound up sounding like Ashley Wilkes in Gone With the Wind."
