Matt, I thought of Eliot's classic essay as well as crit that is
remarkable and still read...funny, but it was Eliot's "Hollow Men" that
did it for me, though, in general, though the essay now is what I like
most about Eliot... I remember walking around for a year or
so when I was 15 or 16 with that yellow paperback of Eliot's _Selected
Poems_ hoping my voice would deepen enough to make the poems sound like
they did in my mind..."rats' feet over broken glass/In our dry cellar"
