Possum Agonistes

A presumptive and presumptuous ex-ample of the sort of thing Mr. T. S. Eliot himself may be provoked into doing almost any day now if books like T. S. Eliot’s Poetry and Plays, a Study in Sources and Meaning—in many respects, a work of considerable merit—by Grover Smith, Jr. (338 pp. University of Chicago Press. $6.00), continue to drop from the presses.

Poet: You don’t read them, you don’t—but I read them: they are hunting my meanings down, I must move on— Claustrophoroi.
