Why was Willem Dafoe so thin? Was Tom that thin in real life during that time of his wife's illness? Was Tom so distroute that he didn't eat?

One would guess he only ate himself.

Any photos I've ever seen of TSE show him to be thin. I thought he was taller, though.

I heard his appetite was so bad he didn't even dare to eat a peach.

THAT is a priceless statement/allusion.

Just read Prufrock for the first time last week, in serious thrall of Eliot.
