Adaptation Displacement: The musical Cats is far more well-known than the book it was based on - Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats.
Memetic Mutation: From The Hollow Men.

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but with a whimper.

Misaimed Fandom: From Prufrock

It is impossible to say just what I mean!
But If a magic lantern threw the nerves in patterns on a screen:
Would it have been worth while
If one, setting a pillow or throwing off a shawl,
And turning towards the window, should say
'That is not it at all,
That is not what I meant at all.'

True Art Is Incomprehensible
The Woobie: Arguably, Prufrock.
