Seamus Heaney asks Ted Hughes what it was like to meet T.S. Eliot

Seamus Heaney asks Ted Hughes what it was like to meet T.S. Eliot:

"'When he looked at you,'
He said, 'it was like standing on a quay
Watching as the prow of the Queen Mary
Came towards you; very slowly.'"

  --From "Stern" in District and Circle, by Seamus Heaney
