A favourite re-read, poetry I repeatedly dip into, especially when between books.

I enjoyed The Waste Land even more the third time around. I did enjoy his poems a lot more than his plays.

Probably the only poet I have read the entire collected works of. (Verse work he chose to publish in his lifetime, that is.) Having not been prolific, Eliot achieved an extraordinarily high average standard.
I do not profess to "understand" some of Eliot's more notoriously obscure poems, however, I love them for the sound they make.
