Thomas Stearns Eliot, with "The Waste Land," opened new paths in modern poetry and established his own unique personal style.
Few poets have influenced their subsequent generations as significantly as Eliot. And no urban poet spoke so candidly about the death and desolation of his class, nor with such dramatic tone, as Eliot.
An honest and consistent poet with his art, himself, and his fellow humans, he constructively cultivated poetic theater and opened deep cuts with his sharp and experienced "criteria" on spiritual issues.
A man with perfect classical education and vast knowledge, he shaped a new language in modern English poetry and remains an unrivaled figure in literature on a global scale.
Eliot used an abundance of foreign verses and excerpts from the Bible and other poets in both "Ash Wednesday" and "Four Quartets," as well as more generally in his poetry, integrating them into the core of his poems.
The diligent translator and poet Kleitos Kyrou managed, after a long, persistent, and exhaustive search, to find most of the sources to which he refers the reader.
However, he believes that there are still some unexplored sources, the discovery of which is now a matter of time and chance.
