I wonder who could be behind this post...

1. Your country
2. Your favorite writer from your country
3. Your favorite writer not from your country

>US
>T. S. Eliot
>John Keats

Post 'em.

Let us go then, you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky
Like a patient etherized upon a table;

>The ideas of Shelley seem to me always to be ideas of adolescence – as there is every reason why they should be. And an enthusiasm for Shelley seems to me also to be an affair of adolescence: for most of us, Shelley has marked an intense period before maturity, but for how many does Shelley remain the companion of age? I confess that I never open the volume of his poems simply because I want to read poetry, but only with some special reason for reference. I find his ideas repellent; and the difficulty of separating Shelley from his ideas and beliefs is still greater than with Wordsworth. And the biographical interest which Shelley has always excited makes it difficult to read the poetry without remembering the man: and the man was humourless, pedantic, self-centred, and sometimes almost a blackguard. Except for an occasional flash of shrewd sense, when he is speaking of someone else and not concerned with his own affairs or with fine writing, his letters are insufferably dull.
Uh, Shelleybros...

How do I make a case for T.S Eliot being one of the most important literary critics?

Do Americans or Brits get to claim T.S. Eliot? As much as I hate to say it, I am leaning more towards the latter.

It's actually Prufrock.

I love him so much
