Both as a poet and a critic, Thomas Stearns Eliot has profoundly influenced post-world War I literature. Not only has he conveyed his view of the human condition poetically, but he has articulated the philosophy which shaped his artistic intention and described the poetic method used to express it. The purpose of this study is to examine how these three aspects of his art are synthesized. The writer contends that T.S. Eliot's artistic intention was to determine and then to convey through poetry what, if anything, constituted order in the universe. In expressing this theme (which dominates all his major poems), he developed the poetic method described in his criticism--notably the concepts of the "historical sense" and the "objective correlative." Examination of all the major poetry reveals that in nature imagery and the mythology surrounding it, he found symbols for the presence or absence of order in the universe which were at once rooted in tradition and suited to his delineation of contemporary society. Consequently, this study will trace the development of nature imagery as a source of objective correlative throughout the major poems in order to reveal how Eliot transmuted his personal philosophy into poetry, which he described as "something rich and strange, something universal and impersonal." The limitations of this study are threefold. It was necessary to examine Eliot's personal view of life in order to substantiate the position that his major theme evolved from a search for order in the universe which ultimately led him to seek commitment to a divine ordering principle. This examination necessarily had psychological and philosophical overtones, but it is significant in this context only as a means of better understanding how Eliot, the poet, utilized the experiences of Eliot, the man, in achieving his artistic intention. Secondly, by focusing this study on one source of imagery and two aspects of the artist's poetic method, the writer ran the risk of oversimplification. Other aspects of Eliot's poetic method, notably his use of form, are necessary to a total understanding and appreciation of his art. This study, then, provides only one approach to a rich and complex body of poetry. Finally, the writer made no attempt at critical evaluation. Rather, the purpose of the thesis is to explicate the major poems in order to illustrate, through an analysis of imagery, how T.S. Eliot synthesized his personal ideas, his artistic philosophy and his poetic method in order to create poetry.

A mark of wisdom in a world of eeriness and brutal reality, truth in a world of hypocrisy and layers of hidden meaning is what we call the poetry of T.S.Eliot. The grand literary giant Eliot experimented in the world of au desespoir. His untraditional use of imagery is an escape from emotions, an escape from socio psycho personality. 'Ash Wednesday' is lyrical in quality, 'The Wasteland' advances in stream of consciousness, and 'The Love Song of J.Alfred Prufrock' has functional images to trivialize what is grand, romantic and attractive. Here we have images and symbols from anywhere to everywhere, from religious moods to sensuousness, from nature to hospitals and from Dante's Purgatorio to Gautam Buddha. The jugglery and intricacy of Eliot's poetry has been explored and viewed from all dimensions to unfold the texture, reality and existential dilemma in the images and symbols of these three poems. This book is useful for all those people who consider Eliot a difficult poet. It is useful for a layman too who doesn't know anything about Eliot. Like a mathematical equation the minutiae of Eliot's poetry has been solved here sancta simplicitas. Hope the readers would like it.

This study is an examination of ocular imagery in the secular poetry of T.S. Eliot. As a symbol, eyes begin as a metonym for the panoptic vision of society. In the earliest poems, Michel Foucault's conceptions of discipline illuminate the acerbic paranoia attached to ocular imagery and its source in the culture of turn-of-the-century Boston. Towards 1919, the image of eyes becomes an objective correlative for the figure of Dante's Beatrice who represents both earthly and divine love. The loss of sight by the various speakers in both - "Gerontion" and The Waste Land is then the loss of connection to both the earthly woman and God. Finally, in The Hollow Men, the tenor and vehicle merge completely so the eyes themselves become the object of desire.
