NP..."Like a patient etherized upon a table".....

[Mark Kohut]

PaulVermeersch Somehow, the study of English literature became the study of French philosophy without anyone calling bullshit.
 
I don't know who this tweeter is, but if you have, as I have, refurbished some of your English Lit background with more immersion
in T. S. Eliot (and pal Ezra)'s profound influence on modernism in literature---T.S. with a PhD in Bergson and a formative 
self-education in the French Symbolists---we see it in TRP and WG (I think) and John Ashbery and
many others, then this remark can strike one. 
 
No wonder Bloom disses T.S. and praises Emerson to the heavens, transcendentally.
