I am a great admirer of Mr. Eliot’s work (Eliot from now on), both poetry, prose and critical essays. Albeit I do not find the enthusiasm for Wordsworth as he does, or at least to me appears to have, I hold great interest in work. I do find his comments about Shelley (which I doubt to be flippant) quite amusing on occasions. Nevertheless, there is some truth in what he has to say about Shelley; the man and his poetry.
