2. A writing style I developed in college.

My group had a premise that we had to write a short story in 100 words exactly, with at least one character, with a touch of irony.
I was studying The Moderns: Pound, Yeats, Elliot et al and found their poetry to be demanding research to allusion.
I read The Wasteland at least 50 times and realized that Elliot spoke to himself and opened his mind to anyone who wanted, who could learn about themselves, as he had done, reading those to whom he referred.
"April is the cruelest month," is the demand that you know Chaucer and how he philosophized about his time in the fourteenth century.

Or, just my dabbling.
