no doubt the influence of eliot is at work... translating eliot as "between what you feel and do" lies not only an long life, but in essence an alternate one... given lou's wide range of poetic interests and influences initiated at syracuse by delmore shwartz, would seem a fitting and not accidental tribute to eliot - of course applied in a way that only Lou would be capable of doing

the phrase "between thought and expression lies a lifetime" reminds me of t.s. eliot's poem "hollow men".
"Between the emotion And the response Falls the Shadow Life is very long"
maybe that's where lou got the idea from? maybe not...
anyway, "and no kinds of love / are better than others" has always struck a chord in me...
