August, 1983 THE EIGHTH HUNGARIAN TRIBE Page 7 The Hungarian-American sculptor Andrew Osze, former director of the Academia Del Museo Arte, Lima, Peru, now Hues and works in New York City. A film on the work of Andrew Osze is available from Arpad Ma/c/cay. Osze's “T. S. Eliot Plaque” was presented to the St. Louis Public Library, 1982. A TRIBUTE EVOLVING T.S. ELIOT, Nobel Prize Winning Poet Born: 1888, St. Louis, Missouri Died: 1965, London, England Over a year ago in St. Louis there was much ado about T. S. Eliot, native son of St. Louis who has done for poetry what John Glenn did for American aviation. Born September 26, 1888 in fontier St. Louis, T. S. died in London seventy-seven years later. Visitors to his place of death view a major monument in Westminster Abbey in honor of the man who became a tireless explorer of language, most prolific and gifted. In St. Louis, the St. Louis Public Library gives tribute to Eliot’s birth place by documenting his life and letters in a rather extensive T. S. Eliot collection preserved in the Carol McDonald Gardner Rare Book Room. And it has been largely through the efforts of one man, another St. Louisan Leslie Könnyű, that New York sculptor Andrew Osze created a plaque in honor of T. E. Eliot in 1979. At his own personal expense, Könnyű commissioned the plaque which is now installed in the Gardner Rare Book Room. The Oszedesigned work depicts a human form suspended in space (to represent the spiritual man or poet) and a rose (the flower that symbolizes purity), the same flower appearing on the stone memorial to Eliot in Westminster Abbey, London. Persons interested in Eliot poetry and scholarship can become members of the T. E. Eliot Society of St. Louis by contacting the director (314) 489-7566 or the library. Each year there is a pilgrimage to the St. Louis City Library on September 26 to commemorate the birth of T. S. Eliot sponsored by the T. S. Eliot Society.
