Eliot pisał, że najokrutniejszym miesącem jest kwiecień. ’Wywodzi z nieżywej ziemi łodygi bzu, miesza pamięć i pożądanie, podnieca gnuśne korzenie sypiąc ciepły deszcz.” Marzec bywa jego smutnym preludium. Piękna kobieta z sąsiedztwa popełniła rozszerzone samobójstwo, uśmiercając siebie i dwóch synów. Wyglądali na szczęśliwych, a odeszli w sposób możliwie najboleśniejszy dla ciała.
