To be fair, Eliot did write and share a lot of material I, others will quote that is useful for pro-freedom anti-orthodoxy presentations of counter-narratives.

But his writing is overly dense, bloated, inaccessible for most readers in his choice of unnecessarily complex, multisyllabic verbiage, suffering from morbid linguistic obesity that makes the pedestal's one is hoisting their own petard upon cringe. Filled with self-reverential circular logic loops that often are difficult to reach escape velocity from the gravitational force it exerts on reader comprehension that gets lost in the stratosphere, not grounded on the earthly real-world planes nor freed into the empty vacuum of space to explore the universe of possibilities and discover the great unknowns of existence. In essence a purgatory of intellectual thought, neither of heaven, nor hell.

...Just trying to channel my inner TS Eliot

Had to re-read that second sentence ... but I got it.

I sometimes worry about myself.
