In this extra-special, extra-long episode we explore T.S. Eliot’s famous love song.
This poem continues with the horror theme and begins with an epigraph, or six-line quotation, in the original Italian from Canto 27 of Dante’s Inferno. References to Dante pop-up a lot in Eliot’s work.
The epigraph hints that the poem that follows is about to describe some type of hell.
