And TSE used bits of “the Musgrave Ritual” (from the Holmes story of the same name) in MURDER IN THE CATHEDRAL.

Where will it all end?

@ Ryan: I rather like Eliot’s cat poems myself, and have long championed them over his other, lesser poetry. Indeed, I’d like to edit an anthology of other poets’ cat poems. I’m sure the result would be lovely, perhaps even lovelier than Eliot’s, although I doubt they’d also be so practical.

How about it? Would anyone be interested in submitting to my newly-announced cat poetry anthology?

Anyone?
