I found this in Morrison's The Lords:
"Door of passage to the other side, the soul frees itself in stride"
Not quite the same, but I was looking for (and I'm sure there's a technical name for it) a 'two-part sentence'-type thingy.
Nice Eliot quote by the way, I get the impression that Eliot didn't like Blake's (later) style even if he recognised his importance. I'm fairly sure he would have felt the same way about Morrison. It's another thread to research into anyways!
