Now the blue fog creeps along,
And the bird's forgot his song:
Flowers now sleep within their hoods;
Daisies button into buds;
From soiling dew the butter-cup
Shuts his golden jewels up;
And the rose and woodbine they
Wait again the smiles of day.
John Clare

/ Thomas S Eliot /
"Thomas Stearns Eliot was a poet, essayist, publisher, playwright, literary critic and editor. Considered one of the 20th century's major poets, he is a central figure in English-language Modernist poetry. Born in St. Louis, Missouri, to a prominent Boston Brahmin family, he moved to England in 1914 at the age of 25 and went on to settle, work, and marry there. He became a British citizen in 1927 at the age of 39, subsequently renouncing his American citizenship. Eliot first attracted widespread attention for his poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" in 1915, which was received as a modernist masterpiece. It was followed by some of the best-known poems in the English language, including "The Waste Land", "The Hollow Men", "Ash Wednesday", and Four Quartets. He was also known for his seven plays, particularly Murder in the Cathedral and The Cocktail Party. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1948, "for his outstanding, pioneer contribution to present-day poetry"."

Biography
Aldous Leonard Huxley was an English writer, who in retrospect, is best known for the dystopian future satire Brave New World (Brave New World) from 1932.
He moved to the U.S. in 1937, to escape the anticipated war in Europe, and lived in Los Angeles until his death in 1963. He wrote in most genres: novels, short stories, poems, travelogues, essays, prose and screenplay. In the interwar period, he wrote "cynical fable about how modern psychology and science had broken down traditional values ββand led to rootlessness among the intellectuals." From the late 20th century, he writes of "large ethical seriousness and [affected] by his interest in mysticism and parapsychology...."
