Intermittent rain predicted. Because I do not hope to turn again Because I do not hope Because I do not hope to turn I wake up from my sleep. Lorikeets chatter in trees of the Heidelberg District. Today I am committed to giving a presentation in town. It’s going to be about Thomas Stearns Eliot. Stearns always seemed like a warning of what was to come and we all know that Thomas is the one who doubts. Eliot, a moderately common name, however we spell it. I knew someone who had a cat called Eliot. Of names of this kind, I can give you a quorum, Such as Munkustrap, Quaxo, or Coricopat,
