T.S. Eliot was my first window into the horror of modern warfare. From him, I learned about other poets and writers of his generation. If I did some analysis, I'd wager I'd find his influence on my own poetry. Wouldn't surprise me in the least.
Loved seeing this here, thanks for posting! To the OP: what was the connection for you to Hacker News?
Not the OP of course, but HN's charter has always been intellectually cosmopolitan (https://news.ycombinator.com/hackernews.html) and we love it when people post stories like this.
They'll never dominate the front page, but the best general-interest articles on art, literature, and history are welcome here.
