GUEST,J M Anderson	South Australia:What the hell's a 'Rolling King'? (154* d)	RE: What the hell's a 'Rolling King'?	18 Mar 15
Going back to the possibility of an Indian connection, what about T S Eliot's line: "Oh you who turn the wheel and look to windward"? (And while we're at it, what about Iain M Banks?) The Waste Land is influenced by Hindu/Buddhist concepts (such cultures not known as being great seafarers), but this section (Death by Water) refers to one Phlebas the Phoenician, a sailor, and is in fact a rehash in English of the conclusion to one of Eliot's earlier poems, originally in French (as if there wasn't enough confusion here already).
