“La Figlia Che Piange” is a poem by Thomas Stearns Eliot‚ which was printed in Prufock and Other Observations in 1917.

Loathing in Las Vegas “Strange memories on this nervous night in Las Vegas. Has it been five years? Six? It seems like a lifetime‚ the kind of peak that never comes again. San Francisco in the middle sixties was a very special time and place to be a part of. But no explanation‚ no mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive in that corner of time in the world.
