T. S. Eliot

Sweet Thames, run softly, till I end my song.

T. S. Eliot was a poet, raised in America but who lived his adult life in England. The Waste Land is his most famous poem.

One of his lighter works, Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, inspired the musical Cats.

Dear Negative Reader: The Triumph of Bullshit. Never published in his lifetime, but quite stunning to read. "For Christ's sake, stick it up your ass."
Light is Good
Literary Allusion Title: Aside from inspiring many of these, Portrait of a Lady is a reference to a novel by Henry James.
Lying Creator: Admitted that the notes attached to The Waste Land were there to fill space, and that at least some of them were intentionally misleading.
Mind Screw
Self-Deprecation: "How unpleasant to meet Mr. Eliot!"
Sexless Marriage: Eliot's.
