...curious can see from Gallup's notes that in the much quoted line, "These fragments I have shored against my ruin," the words "shored against" originally read "spelt into." This was probably Eliot's own emendation, but other alterations are clearly the work of the man who looked over the master's shoulder. "Dogaral" (doggerel), noted Ezra on one passage, and Eliot humbly struck the offending words from his text. But Eliot sometimes balked.

Rosemary's Baby--Dangerously misdirected by Roman Polanski, irritatingly acted by Mia Farrow and John Cassavetes, shoddily filmed in grainly bleached-out color, vehemently hated by your friendly Crimson reviewer, but far-and-away the most popular film of the year. See for yourself. At the ESQUIRE, Mass. Ave. on the Boston side of Harvard Square...
