I was hoping someone on this list would know if the line from "Mother" is connected to either the story or poem mentioned. The title of the poem the line is from is "Burnt Norton." If not, it's a pretty big coincidence. Has Tori ever mentioned either as an inspiration? Thanks.

Amy Ray, "Chickenman" > >I happened to be looking through a copy of _Dangerous Visions_ edited by >Harlan Ellison. In it is a story by Sonya Dorman called "Go, Go, Go, Said >the Bird." I immediately thought of "Mother" and the line, "Go go go go >now, out of the nest it's time..." It turns out this is a quote from T.S. >Eliot, "Go, go, go, said the bird: human kind/ Cannot bear very much >reality." Of course, this has no other textual citation, but clearly Tori >was inspired by this quote. Now I'm really intrigued. Can you ask if >anyone on the ng knows about this allusion? ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 09 Dec 2001 14:46:10 -0600 From: "Carmen Riojas" Subject: Re: Fw: Tori Question for the ng she's quoted Eliot b4 "eternal footman". so i wouldn't put it past her. it fits in w/ the whole "war" element (tuck those ribbons under your helment/be a good soldier). and his work has that wavery otherworldly impresionist feel, so, who knows. toodlepipsky CR ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Dec 2001 09:36:32 +0800 From: "Ali E."

Found this quiz looking through the livejournal meme tracker page: http://blueslinky.net/devotchka/toripoll/ My results: "Your Tori Song is: 'Caught a Lite Sneeze.'" That's kind of true actually.
