‘Come to lunch’, Virginia Woolf invited her brother-in-law, Clive Bell. ‘Eliot will be there in a four-piece suit.’ It was easy to caricature Eliot’s respectable facade; later, when she knew him better, she was more searching. ‘How he suffers!’ she noted when he came to tea on 4 February 1935:
Yes: I felt my accursed gift of sympathy rising … Suddenly T. spoke with a genuine cry of feeling. About immortality: … he revealed his passion, as he seldom does. A religious soul: an unhappy man: a lonely very sensitive man, all wrapt up in fibres of self torture, doubt, conceit, desire for warmth & intimacy. And I’m very fond of him — like him in some of my reserves & subterfuges.1
