Others are not so impressive. Portrait of a Lady is beautiful in its language but otherwise bland. Rhapsody on a Windy Night is more or less a weaker, for me, version of Preludes. Nothing in the collection touches the vividness and power of expression shown in Prufrock and Preludes, but those two poems alone make the book fairly good. I admit that T.S. Eliot confuses me and I have a difficult time understanding his poetry. Saying that, I do love the way he uses the words. Though I may not fully understand what he is saying, the image reception is pretty clear. I love this passage from 'Rhapsody on a Windy Night': Every street lamp that I pass Beats like a fatalistic drum, And through the spaces of the dark Midnight shakes the memory As a madman shakes a dead geranium. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Let us go then, you and I, When the evening is spread out against the sky Like a patient etherized upon a table; Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets, The muttering retreats Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels. No library descriptions found. |

One hundred years after they appeared, these poems still resonate both in their diction and stance of social criticism. I return again and again to reread Eliot ( )
