Success
Not elation
Or creation
Alone may men not mock;
God bless
T.S.,
Spared the temptation
Of our generation —
Writing rhymes for rock.

FOR ELIOT
I guess
Success
Not elation
Or creation
Alone may men not mock;
God bless
T.S.,
Spared the temptation
Of our generation —
Writing rhymes for rock.

"Let us go then, you and I"
Dear Mr. Eliot, delightful though I find The Lovesong of J. Alfred Prufrock, surely the correct phrase should be "Let us go then, you and me".
"Us" is "you and me"; "we" is "you and I". So "you and me" is what it has to be, unless you opt for, say, Jamaican patois: "Mek we go den, you an I"... or maybe, "Mek we go den, you an I an I!"
