Ha. I think he said to himself, "How many obscure allusions can I pack in to one poem to frustrate English majors for decades to come?"

I just commented about this on another string, but I think that the footnotes prove that there is intention to Eliot's words.

haha=) Kind of agree. I felt like he was being vague just for the purpous of being vague. There's really no need!

It seems like the modernists just got so caught up in making themselves "different" tat they lost the true idea reaching the people!

o this was sarcastic to be sure, and the allusions add to the flair and magnitude of the piece, it is overwhelming though
