It wasn't meant to be a reference to Eliot but I can see how it might be construed as one.
Regarding the first strophe's last line, it originally read like this: "First there was childhood, now old," indicating that childhood is now an old memory. For some reason I decided I'd write like Cormac McCarthy and not use commas. I may put them back.
Thanks for the kind words and feedback Bilbo
