		<description><![CDATA[For the first set of readings, read Purgatorio Cantos I-II. These serve to introduce some of the major themes of Purgatorio: keep an eye out for things like memory, desire, trial, and hope. It will be helpful to us to remember a few preliminary notes that I will review for you now. Let us spend some time recalling [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=catholickungfu.wordpress.com&amp;blog=12731786&amp;post=1816&amp;subd=catholickungfu&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

According to a popular story, Litvinoff read it in front of Eliot himself, among a crowd of poetry aficionados who angrily defended Eliot. As for Eliot, the story goes, he said only: &#8220;It&#8217;s a good poem.
