"I haven’t read “The Waste Land” for a year, and I never did bother to check all the footnotes. But I will hazard these statements—Eliot contains the same ecstatic vision which runs from Münzer to Yeats. However, he retains a grounding in the social reality/order of his time. Facing what he perceives as a choice between ecstatic chaos and lifeless mechanistic order, he accedes to maintaining a separation of asexual purity and brutal sexual reality. And he wears a stoical face before this. Read his essay on Tradition and the Individual Talent, as well as Four Quartets"

I don't believe for one second that he wrote that.

The man(?) is a simpleton and an ideologue. A walk through the lake of his soul would scarcely get your feet wet. (Although they would be quite dirty.)

I dunno.

I think Yeats once wrote a poem about him.
