Selected Poems Book

I first read Eliot in college for a survey class appropriately titled The Modern Wasteland. Even though that was nearly 15 years ago, I still remember "Prufrock" and "The Wasteland" itself. We must have also read "Ash-Wednesday," because some of its lines were familiar to me ("Teach us to care and not to care / Teach us to sit still"). On this reading it was that and "Choruses from 'The Rock'" that had the strongest impact. I was struck afresh by how Eliot incorporates Christian language and imagery in his often slightly nightmarish visions of modern life, and by how good he is at the level of the individual line - so many phrases have been borrowed for titles of other books. Most of the poems from the 1917, 1920 and 1925 collections just washed over me, but there are some lines from "Ash-Wednesday" and "Choruses from 'The Rock'" that I've marked out to read again (and again and again).
