TS Eliot was right but wrong but

There's death-in-life galore for the carvers
and the pickers of sinews in ditches;
and we assume these roles, to fill the play
when to look loss in the eye'd be crippling.

We say we can't live in more than one world!
Get a multiport for better crying.
You have to live in many that won't join;
the lost, the blasted-stubborn, the amazing.

Come back, you dead, you fools, you quicksanders
I have a portal waiting for you here
It is a room of windows. I look out

and I see you and myself all wandering;
and all I can say to you may be this:
the blessing is we're multifarious.
