An eliot is an epigram form I labelled in honour of George Eliot the English novelist/poet, inspired by an example in Chap 8 of her book Daniel Deronda.

here is mine in this form What tune does youth most play when future's biding ? Today ! What wisdom does age convey when time is passing ? Today ! here George Eliot verse from which I created this epigram style labelled 'eliot' What name doth Joy most borrow when life is fair ? Tomorrow ! What name does best fit sorrow In young despair? Tomorrow !
