A Vintage Classics edition of T. S. Eliot's most groundbreaking
poems
This is the way the world ends, not with a bang, but a whimper. Those
famous concluding lines of T. S. Eliot's The Hollow Men have resonated
with readers for nearly a century. As with April is the cruelest month,
from The Waste Land and Do I dare disturb the universe?, from The Love
Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, Eliot's words have permanently entered our
cultural bloodstream. Through the poems in this volume, representing his
first four published collections, Eliot reshaped modern literature with
a daring and overpowering vision of a decaying civilization and the
urgent need for spiritual renewal.
