On this day, September 26, in 1888, T.S. Eliot was born in St. Louis, Missouri. Essayist, publisher, playwright, literary and social critic, and a Nobel Prize winner for his Modernist poetry, he is perhaps best known to the general populace for the quote from The Hollow Men of “This is the way the world ends/Not with a bang but a whimper”, and for having written Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats, which was the basis the wildly popular musical, Cats, which ran for 18 straight years at Broadway’s Winter Garden theater . He died of emphysema in 1965 at age 76.
