I always liked poetry, when I was a wee lad, that seemed to suggest strange things without quite making anything explicit. I was, therefore, a big fan of TS Eliot, whose Waste Land seemed to mean whatever I thought it meant until the next time I read it, and The Hollow Men, which is just gorgeous. I also was a big fan…
