T.S. Eliot was a highly influential poet, playwright, and literary critic. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1948.


"There is shadow under this red rock


(Come in under the shadow of this red rock),


And I will show you something different from either


Your shadow at morning striding behind you


Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you;


I will show you fear in a handful of dust."



     – T.S. Eliot, The Waste Land
