Eyes That Last I Saw In Tears

Miss Nancy Ellicott Strode across the hills and broke them,
Rode across the hills and broke them–
The barren New England hills–
Riding to hounds
Over the cow-pasture.
Miss Nancy Ellicott smoked
And danced all the modern dances;
And her aunts were not quite sure how they felt about it,
But they knew that it was modern.
Upon the glazen shelves kept watch
Matthew and Waldo, guardians of the faith,
The army of unalterable law.

He is widely regarded as one of the most influential poets of the 20th century, and his works, which include "The Waste Land" and "Four Quartets," are known for their innovative use of language and form. Eliot was also a prominent literary critic and played a major role in shaping the Modernist movement.
