1. Scepticism-The Essence of His Early Poetry In his early poems from Prufrock and Other Observations (1917) to The Hollow Men (1925), scepticism forms the keynote of his poetry. The European civilization after World War I (1914-18) was in "The Waste Land"-in emotional and spiritual sterility-and was mortally injured. He reveals the "waste" situation of Western men and tries to express their inner realities by means of a new mode of writing. 2. Transition of His Scepticism-The Deferment of His "Decision" He says that scepticism is a highly civilized trait and we need not only the strength to defer a decision, but also the strength to make one. The world of his early poems is that of "indecision". While he was deferring his decision, these poems were changing gradually, from the world of "agnosticism" in Prufrock, of "waiting for rain" in Gerontion, to that of "prayer" in The Waste Land and The Hollow Men. He prayed for the resurrection of the European civilization. He was continually approaching the world of "God". And, in 1928,he was converted to Anglo-Catholicism. 3. "Decision" to Transcend His Scepticism-The Essence of His Late Poetry. After examinig various evidences for his decision, T.S. Eliot reached a decision in his late Poems. In Ash-Wednesday (1930) he writes about the world of "repentance". He repents for his past sins and turns away from the waste land toward God. He urges on us the primacy of the supernatural over the natural life in Religion and Literature (1935). Four Quartets (1935-1944) seems to be a testament, in which all he has learned about life is concentrated. It is a religious poem. He writes about the world of "meditation", "purgation" and "salvation" just like a silent funeral. He describes this world by using the idea of "Incarnation". He may imply the primacy of religion over literature. On another occasion, I intend to investigate whether or not Eliot's idea and vision can be interpreted in terms of the present direction of civilization.
