Looking for specific poety - TS Eliot?

Question

My grandfather used to recite a poem when I was young, and I think he called it, "The Bestest Friend I Ever Knew." He'd recite it with an Irish lilt to his voice, and the narrator of the poem was talking about being "down and out" but how his friend was there for him, the bestest friend he ever knew, and at the end, the poem makes it clear he's talking about his dog. My grandmother thought it might be TS Eliot, but I'm not able to find anything. Sadly, my grandfather is no longer with us, so I'm not able to ask him. Please, any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

Answer 1

POLYPHILOPROGENITIVE  

The sapient sutlers of the Lord  

Drift across the window-panes.  

In the beginning was the Word.  

  

In the beginning was the Word.        

Superfetation of ,  

And at the mensual turn of time  

Produced enervate Origen.  

  

A painter of the Umbrian school  

Designed upon a gesso ground        

The nimbus of the Baptized God.  

The wilderness is cracked and browned  

  

But through the water pale and thin  

Still shine the unoffending feet  

And there above the painter set        

The Father and the Paraclete.

    .    .    .    .    .  

The sable presbyters approach  

The avenue of penitence;  

The young are red and pustular  

Clutching piaculative pence.        

Under the penitential gates  

Sustained by staring Seraphim  

Where the souls of the devout  

Burn invisible and dim.  

  

Along the garden-wall the bees         25 ith hairy bellies pass between  

The staminate and pistilate,  

Blest office of the epicene.  

  

Sweeney shifts from ham to ham  

Stirring the water in his bath.        

The masters of the subtle schools  

Are controversial, polymath.  

  

As you know, this poem is from Eliot.

I looked for the one your grandfather used to recite to you, bur I did not find.I'm from Brazil, Rio de Janeiro. I'll try to find it with an English teacher I know. If I do so, I'll let you know.

Keep your light bright!
