In this glorious poem, T S Eliot shows not only his depth of thought, but also the breadth of his reading and the respect he had for those who came before and who stepped alongside. It was first published in 1915 in the magazine Poetry: A Magazine of Verse.

The poem did not receive the plaudits it deserved at the time, but in retrospect it is given great respect.

Enjoy!
