Everyone's a hero

Behind the clearing smoke
A brilliant disc
Pearce reveals Eliot
In his nakedness
Sex and the familial god
Exposed
Indoors, the narrator frames a pointless chase
But the viewer
In its role of voyeur
Learns its place
From the armchair
Eliot watches on
Meaning is obscured
And everyone’s a hero

Just read
the article. It's almost a valid argument. Except that I would argue that what Eliot describes is plagiarism and intertextuality and the acknowledgement of the existence of several degrees between the two. Intertextuality as a concept/term of literary criticism was first coined in 1974.
Worth cherries just for making people think, I should say.
