poetry
All by T. S. Eliot
The Rock
I've read this as "Choruses from 'The Rock'" -- because Eliot did not write the entire play.
More philosophical, like Four Quartets, than some of his stuff. Still with a number of marvelous poetic images.
Ash Wednesday
a poetic mediation, full of imagery, fitting for the opening of the season of repentance and coming clean
The Waste Land
vivid and poetical scenes -- not always explicable -- bear in mind, if you read the notes, that he was sometimes dramatizing the poetry by his own admission.
Well worth reading.
