Not sure why this is up on HN today but I find the opening line “T. S. Eliot was a morally, intellectually, and sartorially fastidious man. His manner was so correct that it sometimes seemed a few degrees too correct.” quite an extraordinarily way to start off a piece considering just how antisemitic Eliot was. As the great Anthony Julius said about his antisemitism: “Eliot was not a typical anti-semite. He was instead an extraordinary anti-semite. He did not reflect the anti-semitism of his times, he contributed to it, even enlarged it.“
