"The True Adventurer"

The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience. - Eleanor Rosevelt

T. S. Eliot


T. S. Eliot is and will always be one of the most influential poet/writer of his time.  An even more accurate statement would be that Eliot was so influential during his life that he left a legacy few will ever challenge.  He was able to influence modern day by only words, and this stems from his work’s originality.  “The Waste Land” was more than a poem; it was the voice of the people.  Yes, it is a more difficult read, but that has no bearing on its importance.  It speaks of a life after war, a war that leads the world to a new age.   Our era would not be as successful as it is without T. S. Eliot and his impactful works.
