TRY IT Analyze Language
What feelings do Eliot's choice of words express
to the reader?
hopelessness and despair
The memory throws up high and dry
A crowd of twisted things;
A twisted branch upon the beach
Eaten smooth, and polished
As if the world gave up
The secret of its skeleton,
Stiff and white.
A broken spring in a factory yard,
Rust that clings to the form that the strength
has left
appreciation and optimism
X frustration and anger
