Things Fall Apart

Must get to England to do my T.S. Eliot tour sooner, rather than later:

“Houses rise and fall, crumble, are extended,/Are removed, destroyed, restored…” T.S. Eliot wrote in “East Coker,” a poem in his famed collection “Four Quartets.” Now a proposal to do the first — build a development with 3,750 houses and an industrial estate on the edge of East Coker, in Somerset — has prompted protests from Eliot devotees.
