This single poem redeems all of T.S. Eliot's previous sins of arrogance and orthodoxy.

Regarding the video cocerning Eliot's reading of his poem:

When I first read this poem years ago I believed it to be somewhat pompous and overbearing. But over the years it continued to beckon me back to its scenes of quiet despair and bleak pseudo-reality. Is this the human condition? I don't know, yes! I do know!! The poem has worked its spell over me. Istvan Horkay is a genius in his ability to weave a deeply emotional picture of the twentieth century version of the human condition by mixing Eliot's reading of his poem with the bleak images and rich music. A most powerful video. D. Evans
