TS Eliot is cool, just ask Ezra Pound;
TS Eliot is cool b/c his father got rich
making bricks; he made enough making
bricks to build a factory to make bricks
that he sold to other people to build factories;
TS Eliot wrote poetry he way his father
made bricks one word at a time one after
another all seemingly of the same
compound measure but each w/ subtle unique
properties; lo the brick; the foundation
of poetry if it is to stand tests of time;
ironies abounding like the naked butterfly
nymphs of faery ****; Eliot was nominated
four times for the Nobel Prize & finally won;
1945, 1946, 1947 & 1948; significant years
culturally no doubt there; nd of WWII;
Film Noir & the LA zo\ot suit riots;
the rebirth of big hair; the young beats begin
writing big paintings small painters; Alfred Nobel
after reading a premature obituary entitled
'The merchant of death' condemning him
for profiting from arms sales used the fortune
he'd made manufacturing cannons and explosives
for the military to create the Nobel Prize;
Alfred Nobel is most famous for inventing
dynamite which is used to demolish old
abandoned brick factories; personally I prefer
a wrecking ball & old fashioned sledge hammer;
Jesus warned the pharisee u can tear down
the temple & I'll build it back in three days;
they were astounded at his estimate;
that's why TS Eliot is cool; ask Ezra Pound
