Abstract
Concluding that “It is a case of the ‘form’ becoming the ‘message,’ of there being no difference between what the poetry says and what it means; Eliot makes us experience what he is talking about,” this article furnishes a penetrating preparation for the rereading of one of the greatest living poets. Dr. Smith, author of T. S. Eliot’s Poetry and Plays: A Study mn Sources and Meaning (Chicago, 1956), is an assistant professor of English at Duke University.
