I've just finished I Who Have Not Known Men and wonder what other books have poetic or lilting titles (not the same as "good" titles, and regardless of whether the book was any good).

I Who Have Not Known Men
Drive Your Plow Over The Bones of the Dead
Hope is the Thing with Feathers
If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things
At Night All Blood is Black
The Heart is a Lonely Hunter
If On a Winter's Night a Traveller
Their Eyes Were Watching God
All the Light We Cannot See
The Moon is a Harsh Mistress

By Grand Central Station I Sat Down And Wept
Bonjour Tristesse
Dark as The Grave Wherein My Friend Is Laid
A lot of Charles Bukowski, e.g. Play the Piano Drunk Like a Percussion Instrument Until the Fingers Begin to Bleed a Bit

Both quotes from 'the Wasteland' by TS Elliott.

Also by IMB, Against a Dark Background (not an Eliot quote but quite lyrical).
