| Abstract |
Doris's Dream Songs (1924) describes the feeling of a narrator departing from the world in which he and his lover lived together. "The Hollow men" (1925), like the poem composed in 1924, expresses the... narrator's nihilistic, view of man. These poems suggest that T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) is in the same State of mind as the narrators: the departing of his wife, Vivienne Eliot (1888-1947), and his own hopeless life. He has a consciousness of sin because he tormented his parents, Henry Ware Eliot Sr. (1843-1919), Charlotte Champe Eliot (1843-1929), and his wife. In 1927, however, Eliot was baptized into the Church of England, believing that the religion would rid him of his agonies both in life and in the composition of his poems, and at the same time, remove the torments he caused. Four poems, "Journey of the Magi" (1927), "A Song for Simeon" (1928), "Animula" (1929), and "Marina" (1930), convey the spiritual death or rebirth of man. Ash-Wednesday (1930), including descriptions of the four poems, indicates that Eliot wishes to start a new life without giving the three people mentioned above further pain. Thus, Eliot develops a harmonious way of thinking in his poems from 1924 to 1930.show more
