T S Eliot’s poem ‘To the Indians who Died in Africa’ is an interesting Eliot piece. It is not often you read a poem by Eliot which refrains from striking the grand pose. He tended to invoke the giant issues of human soul every time he penned a poem‚ except of course‚ when he wrote those cat poems. But this is a puzzlingly small-aimed poem. A bit advise not grand wisdom‚ I guess. That this poem in imbued in the war and empire atmosphere is obvious. What he has to say to the Indians is funnily passive

The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock T. S. ELIOT Questions for Discussion 1. How does the epigraph from Dante’s Inferno help Eliot comment on the modern world in“The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock”? What does it tell us about the setting of this poem? How is Montefeltro’s miscalculation related to the poem? Prufrock laments that the mermaids will not sing to him.

In 1930‚ just three years after his baptism and confirmation into the Anglican Church‚ T. S. Eliot published his conversion story. It was his poem Ash Wednesday.[i] He had converted amid tides of intellectuals rebelling against the over-secular society of the early twentieth century. Ash Wednesday is the chronicle of this conversion‚ told in beautiful allegories and metaphors. It portrays the struggle Eliot faced in converting. “It is a poem about the difficulty of religious belief‚ about the

126 The Ocean-Desert: The Ancient Mariner and. The Waste Land FLORENCE MARSH WHEN Coleridge’s The Ancient Mariner and T. S. Eliot’s The Waste Land are juxtaposed‚ the two poems become mutually illuminating. Nor is the juxtaposition arbitrary‚ since both are essentially religious poems concerned with salvation. In both‚ the protagonist needs to recover from a living death‚ from spiritual dryness. Structurally‚ The Waste Land has almost no narrative thread‚ no story‚ but it sounds motifs that

Stability versus Change and Metamorphosis in T.S. Eliot ’s The Waste Land. When one reads The Waste Land for the first time‚ it may be difficult to extract some clear meanings out of the poem. The common reader is used to expect some uniformity and wholeness‚ some kind of unity or continuity in one or various aspects in any piece of writing he or she comes across. Therefore‚ when one has to face a poem like this one‚ the sensation of puzzlement‚ confusion and powerlessness is unavoidable. Even
