T.S. Eliot

“Let us go then you and I

When the evening is spread out against the sky.”

Sept. 26th marked the anniversary of the birth of T.S. Eliot, one of the world’s greatest poets. Not many people know that T.S. is affiliated with UChicago. He served on the Committee of Social Thought and there are rumors that parts of ‘The Wasteland’ were written in a UChicago dorm (unverified, probably false). Something that is 100% true is that the Special Collections of the Regenstein Library has the original manuscript of ‘The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock’. It’s incredible. It still has edits and everything. Check it out if you have the chance.

And if that wasn’t cool enough, there’s also some graffiti in The Reg that is simple, unostentatious Eliot.
