It’s very hard to find something when you’re not quite sure what it is.
I’ve been searching for something that someone once said about William Butler Yeats. Except I don’t remember exactly who that someone was, or what that someone said. I think it was T.S. Eliot, and I think he was writing about Yeats’ apparently bugfuck spirituality (not Eliot’s words obviously), and I think he was quoted in an article or review I read in the Sunday New York Times a couple of years ago. But that’s all I’ve got. I even remember someone else quoting it back to me a few days later. I just haven’t a clue what Eliot, if it even was Eliot, said.
And it’s starting to drive me a little insane.
