the author doesn’t know anything about Eliot.

Eliot is a true synthesis of the greatest of our traditions and modernity (esp in his poetry). He didn’t really care about politics; in fact he despised it. A completely different character than Pound.

Eliot felt deeply the loss of a common European Christian culture. And that pain and his contemplation of all of that is set forth in his poetry.

Russell Kirk wrote a very fine biography of Eliot. Anyone interested should read it.

Eliot and His Age. I have it. Like all of Dr. Kirk's work, it's excellent.

I'm partial to Eliot's Four Quartets. Absolutely brilliant!

The Waste Land is a brilliant description of the kind of rotted out society conservatives fight to prevent -- that's what the "culture war" is about. The Hollow Men is a brilliant depiction of the kinds of people who live in such a society, nd The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock is a great portrait of one such individual.
