(With all the other TLFE response blogs popping up, I was surprised that a) this wasn't one and b) you didn't go with titling it "T. S. Elephant" just to fit in.  ) | ||

Any Cummings would work well; I'd be utterly paralysed if someone playing against me quoted, line by line, "Anyone lived in a pretty how town, With up so floating many bells down..." The man was a genius. | ||

Some parts of The Wasteland are far too depressing to be quoted. The initial lines, however, are gorgeous. "April is the cruelest month, breeding Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing Memory and desire, stirring Dull roots with spring rain." | ||

I was just suggesting that for others.  Granted, TLSoJAP is far too long to completely memorize, but those first lines were all me (though, admittedly, I did have my Eliot book nearby for reference). Other lines I was going to quote (from memory) were. "Do I dare to eat a peach?" and I thought this one would be good, especially if I started losing: I grow old, I grow old, I will wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled. | ||

I have seen the eternal footman hold my coat and snicker, And in short, I was afraid." "I should have been a pair of ragged claws, Scuttling the floors of silent seas." Here are some of my favorite selections. | ||

I think I just found an awesome one to say to your teammates if you're losing a team game. The final three lines of TLSoJAP: We have lingered in the chambers of the sea By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown Till human voices wake us, and we drown. | ||
