They're indeed amazing. He's one of the best discoveries I've made this year along with Friedrich Nietzsche, Andrei Tarkovsky, Camille Paglia and a few others perhaps. I'm finding The Waste Land to be very complex and nearly impenetrable, though still fascinating. I'm liking Four Quartets a lot more. Very profound and beautiful and full of lots of astonishing wisdom.
