[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zg_vVKcVYbo ''"David Duchovny, why won't you love me??"''] cried Assistant Director Walter Skinner. "I'm sorry, Sir," whispered Fox Mulder, his voice dull and detached (not a result of any regret or sympathy for the pair of talking glasses on the bed next to him; that's just how his voice always sounds for some reason), "But I'm in love... with Buyers." "Damn." Glasses spat while keeping his jaw tightly shut, "I should have known I was no match for his youthful charms." Mulder finished buttoning up his shirt, then jumped out the window. "Damn!" he cried upon landing, still sounding incredibly uninterested in what was going on, "I forgot to open the window before I jumped!" Picking glass shards from his face, Mulder ran into the arms of Buyers - The Bearded 3-Year-Old - and escaped into the cold dark of the early morning.

I read T.S. Eliot in high school a couple times; The Four Quartets, The Hollow Men, stuff like that, and while it's not a topic that necessarily leaves the reader with much hope, I think the overreaching theme of fragmentation throughout Eliot's works is one that shouldn't be overlooked just because it's not particularly pleasant. It's not the end of the discussion -- though the theme of fragmented identity and spirit is present in most of Eliot's works (at least those I've read), it is one that is addressed head-on; an issue Eliot finds himself struggling through, but one which he strives to find a resolution for. It's that strength to face an unhappy reality and find peace through that which I find so beautiful in Eliot's works, and one which I feel I can apply in my own life.
