B. Matthews Photo Printers, 1934.

When five years old had read the Arabian Nights. Christ’s Hospital and Cambridge. Metaphysician and poet. His life was ill-regulated; weak, slothful, a voracious reader, he contracted an unhappy marriage and much later the habit of taking laudanum. Described his own character in his great Ode to Dejection(1802). 2 The greatest English literary critic, he was also the greatest intellectual force of his time. Probably influenced Newman, Maurice, and the Young Tories; 3 and died as the guest of Mr. Gillman of Highgate. 4

t. s. eliot.
