it's so elegant, so intelligent
She turns and looks a moment in the glass,
Hardly aware of her departed lover;
Her brain allows one half-formed thought to pass:
'Well now that's done: and I'm glad it's over.'
When lovely woman stoops to folly and
Paces about her room again, alone,
She smoothes her hair with automatic hand,
And puts a record on the gramophone.
--- T.S. Eliot, The Wasteland

In college, I took a class on TS Eliot. I hated it. Not TS Eliot - he was okay. I hated my freakin' professor, who told me I needed to take a remedial writing class.
