T.S.Eliot´s "Rhapsody on a Windy Night"

Recently we have analysed this poem by T.S. Eliot. Here´s a reading and some explanation.This is a declaration of the Eliot's disaffection from society like Prufrock, and it written at about the same time in his life, published in 1917. He was still a virgin at the time of writing, as with Prufrock.

The narrative is Eliot's familiar "stream-of-consciousness", commonplace in writing now but at that time it was a true novelty.

La lune ne garde aucune rancune, means "The moon does not hold any resentments".

Here's some notes, you can make up your own mind what value they have:

Andrew Lloyd Webber, who borrowed so much from T. S. Eliot, borrowed lyrics from this poem for "Memories"(song of the famous musical "Cats")
