T.S. Eliot's Six Rules for Writing
1. Look on the world with the eyes of a saurian.
2. Write a few lines in a manner Victorian.
3. Fill them with languor and well-bred futility.
4. Hammering Jews has undoubted utility.
5. Old stuff in Sanskrit is good to come out with.
6. Send it to Ezra to bugger about with.
