SUGGESTIONS FOR READING
1. Is Mr. Eliot's poetry derived from a keen sense of life experienced or
from literature? What echoes of earlier poets do you find in his work?
2. Does the adjective _distinguished_ apply to his work? What are the
sources of his distinction? What evidences of fresh vision of old things
do you find? of unexpected and true associations and contrasts? of a
delicate sense for essential details that make a picture? of the power of
suggestive condensation? of ability to get an emotional effect through
irony?
3. Consider the following quotation from Mr. Eliot as illuminative of his
method of work: "The contemplation of the horrid or sordid by the artist
is the necessary and negative aspect of the impulse toward beauty."
4. It is interesting to make a special study of Mr. Eliot's management of
verse.
5. What, if any, temperamental defect is likely to interfere with his
development?
