Specialising in the studies of great poets of both romantic era and modern times, the poet was much enthused to make a comparative study and felt it most essential to bring into focus, poetry as life itself, as more than life itself, has its own flow, never standing still, but moving forward and backward and sideways in rhythm as would sea-waves carrying flowing along ways and cross ways, waves and changed waves, generations after generations that carry fire, water and god-truth; all in one eternal roll being itself the eldest, youngest and immortal Hence, in poetry, the system of contemporary element should be shoulder to shoulder with the poetic material to maintain the structure of the frame of reality which holds truth. T.s. Eliot, the most distinguished poet in English has achieved this unique art without disturbing the essence and dignity of poetry in each of his great works. This element of masterpiece in poetry writing should be observed, studied and understood by students and readers of English literature. T.S. Eliot is a poetic genius who bears the strength of carrying modern objectives along with classic orthodoxy of literature, while some of the famous romantic poets in their overly leaning on chosen delicacy of silky objectives, less to reality of the coarser sides of life, have failed to carry the reality to hold the truth of poetry intact ER -
