Beverly Watson discusses a line of poetry implied to be spoken by this title group, "Life is very long," in August: Osage County. The voices of this group are compared to "rats' feet over broken glass / In our dry cellar." This group is said to "grope together / And avoid speech / Gathered on the banks of the tumid river." This group's members are described as "Leaning together, headpiece filled with straw" and are implied to recite the lines, "Here we go round the prickly pear." For 10 points, what group titles a T. S. Eliot poem in which the world ends "not with a bang, but a whimper?"
