Who was the literary genius, born in St. Louis but who lived so long in London that he was always mistaken for an aristocratic gentleman, who said: “When America falls into decadence and dies as result of a nuclear bomb, all that will remain of it will be ten thousand lost golf balls”?
No cheating with search engines now.
I think that was T.S. Eliot...the "thousand lost golf balls" sounds as if it came from one of his poems, "The Four Quartets" perhaps. Anyway I know he was born in the U.S. and became a very English Bond Street banker.

ReplyDeleteC'mon..did T.S. Elliot really say that?
