...Eliot the banker, in his bowler hat, black coat and sponge-bag (checked) trousers, was only one of several simultaneous incarnations. There was also the dreamily peripatetic Mr. Eliot who walked on the beach wearing, like Prufrock, white flannel trousers and reading Virgil or Dante. Above all, dogging the steps of the other Messrs.

Both depend on the odd and unexplained fact that atomic nuclei do not weigh as much as the sum of the individual nucleons (protons and neutrons) which they contain. It is as if a dozen apples in a paper bag did not weigh as much as the same apples spilled out on the kitchen table and weighed separately...
