frozen in a chain of disillusionment towards the new world, but is also blinded by his own creation of a cracked illusion that confides in solitary life that he believes is pure. Haunted by self-doubt and nostalgia of a past life in the grip of a lover, he has locked the depths of himself away at the heart of the sea. Eliot conducts a dramatic monologue that centers on a reluctant middle-aged man who suffers from social…

In the last verse of the poem Baudelaire describes…
