@s9a is this better <3
One’s perception of the world is subject to change over time. Eliot’s poetry is no different, transforming over time to reflect his current state of mind on critical modernist opinions, most notably, his depictions of spirituality and man’s connection to himself. Thus, this statement is true to a large extent, as seen in Eliot’s contrasting poems, “The Hollow Men” and “Journey of the Magi”, which demonstrate starkly different representations of the subject matter of spirituality. “The Hollow Men”, which conveys Eliot’s post-WW2 depression and lack of hope, depicts a world void of spirituality and connection, suggesting that man is trapped within a hopeless reality. On the other hand, the more optimistic “Journey of the Magi” demonstrates how by finding spirituality, the individual is able to transcend the physical constraints of the modern world to find a better purpose. Evidently, by framing different opinions throughout his changing poetic repertoire, Eliot’s poetic style and approach on critical subject matters change over time.
