Murder in the Cathedral, poetic drama in two parts, with a prose sermon interlude, the most successful play by American English poet T.S. Eliot.

She was particularly fond of animals, and much of her imagery is drawn from the natural wo... View more info

Finally, at his easel, he tries to make his painting as faithful to the photos as he can.
