- Vivienne Haigh-Wood Eliot (28 May 1888 – 22 January 1947) was the first wife of American-English poet T. S. Eliot, whom she married in 1915, while he was studying at Oxford. Haigh-Wood had always suffered from serious health problems, compounded by insecurity about her social class. It is clear that her disastrous marriage worsened her condition. Eliot would not consider divorce, but formally separated from her in 1933. She was committed to an asylum and eventually died there, apparently from a heart attack, but possibly an overdose. They were never compatible; he seems to have been seeking a pretext to stay in England, in defiance of his family, by marrying an English bride. Their tortured marriage is often cited as the inspiration for The Waste Land, which remains his most noted work. Research into their relationship has been hampered by lack of access to her diaries, whose copyright was granted to Eliot’s widow Valerie. (en)

- I think at first, until one has got the spout of this long disused fountain clear, it is better to let the water burst out when it will & so force away the accumulation of decayed vegetation, moss, slime & dead fish which are thick upon & around it. (en)
- Grishkin is nice: her Russian eye
Is underlined for emphasis;
Uncorseted, her friendly bust
Gives promise of pneumatic bliss. ...
The sleek Brazilian jaguar
Does not in its arboreal gloom
Distil so rank a feline smell
As Grishkin in a drawing-room. (en)
