Anne Sexton died in 1974. Taking the title isn't too bad, though I still think it's a bit cheeky to just say "(from a song)". And Eliot wasn't a plagiarist. He acknowledged his sources, and as his sources were often great Italian and ancient poets I doubt he could get away with "stealing" from them even if he wanted to.
