Robert,
hello
i'm from the philippines
eliot's poetry is part of all that obscurity that had shaped modern poetry
i think The Hollow Men is eliot's another attempt to dissect 20th century life in europe.
unlike hemingway heroes, eliot mythisized characters are intoxicated with cosmopolitan disillusionment.
there are many sites that offer explanations on eliot's poems. i hope you could check them out. eliot's poetry has that certain hauntingly controlled music in them. and the themes are like intellectualized kurt cobain-ish lyrics.
The hollow men came after The Wasteland. for some reason, eliot had immersed himself in his own attempt to find spiritual upliftment in the world.
"this is the way the world ends,
not with a bang but a whimper."
t. s. eliot
goodbye
roxane
