And I'm a non-pentecostal Lutheran. Still I can't deny what happened. But this means I can close this blog, finally, with a happy ending.C. E.

You are the guy who put ...I am old and I remember. You are the guy who put Eliot and Prufrock on the web. I read your lengthy critique which at one point was on a web page. I agreed with some of it. I am within my rights to raise the matter anew on your blog now because it is ancient history. The type of thing you did then cannot be done now, cannot be done on Facebook, or if you do it one Facebook, I will not see it.מבולhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10217126520280829330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14879983.post-69548696407233275292010-08-23T00:40:07.889-07:002010-08-23T00:40:07.889-07:00Strange comment as the only reference above to the...Strange comment as the only reference above to the poem is the name of my dog, "J. Alfred Prufrock" (also called "Scout" now for reasons I may detail in another dog blog here).<br /><br />So why you need to spout off about a poem I never discussed to make your point I'll never know, because you're preaching to the choir, except that <br />language isn't dead. Just buy my new book above and you'll see.<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />CEC. E.

America’s best poems are all from the Nineteenth Century: The Raven, The Night Before Christmas, The Wreck of the Hesperus. Prufrock dates to the beginning of the Twentieth and today, seen by us from the perspective of a hundred years, it is, regardless of its merits, something like a monument in time. It is the last instance of the written word before the written word was wiped out by new technologies. About the time of Prufrock radio and cinema came on line, to be followed over the decades by television and Facebook, all language killing devices in general, and written word killing devices in particular. Note: Pie Eater says that Facebook is the undead.מבולhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10217126520280829330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14879983.post-61779743660743609562010-08-11T09:50:05.416-07:002010-08-11T09:50:05.416-07:00Thanks, Richard,

And thanks for the vote of confidence; someday I hope I might be allowed to be your doctor--but there are hurdles to jump first. Sorry about winters!C. E.

Must be your medical training automatically kicking in when you're in a depression. I'd have you as my doctor anytime. Glad you're feeling better. You deserve the relief! I'm on Abilify too, but as an augmentation to my antidepressants. It's done wonders, but I live in fear of my depression returning. I had severe depression all last winter and now if you show me a photograph with snowfall in it my stomach falls out. Lots of dread left in me.<br /><br />To your continued good health! <br /><br />RichardAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
