T. S. Eliot
<p class="MsoNormal">Their wealth – at least Alfred’s – must have been proverbial by 1920, when T. S. Eliot wrote, in ‘A Cooking Egg’, <em>I shall not want Capital in Heaven / For I shall meet Sir Alfred Mond.</em> Alfred visited Palestine in 1921 and became a committed Zionist towards the end of his life.
Ludwig died in 1909, Frida in 1923. They died rich but, as their history seems to show, not in any way disgraced.</p>
