T. S. Eliot/YMMV

"This is the way the world ends
 * Adaptation Displacement: The musical Cats is far more well-known than the book it was based on - Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats.
 * Memetic Mutation: From The Hollow Men.

This is the way the world ends

This is the way the world ends

Not with a bang but with a whimper."

"It is impossible to say just what I mean!
 * Misaimed Fandom: From Prufrock

But If a magic lantern threw the nerves in patterns on a screen:

Would it have been worth while

If one, setting a pillow or throwing off a shawl,

And turning towards the window, should say

'That is not it at all,

That is not what I meant at all.'"


 * True Art Is Incomprehensible
 * The Woobie: Arguably, Prufrock.
