Love

If you've lost your faith in love and music
Oh the end won't be long
Because if it's gone for you then I too may lose it
And that would be wrong

Poetic mashup

27th August 2007 10:26am

Via Ben Hammersley comes this rather fantastic mashup of T.S. Eliot reading his own “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” and Portishead's “Sour Times” (and as Ben notes, I had no idea Eliot had recorded any of his own work).

This gives me an excuse to share one of my favourite Eliot quotes:

Anxiety is the hand maiden of creativity.

Too true.
