Thomas Stearns Eliot (1888 – 1965) was an essayist, publisher, playwright, literary and social critic and „one of the twentieth century’s major poets.“ He was born in St. Louis, Missouri to an old Yankee family. However he emigrated to England in 1914 (at age 25) and was naturalised as a British subject in 1927 at age 39.
Eliot attracted widespread attention for his poem The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock (1915), which is seen as a masterpiece of the Modernist movement. It was followed by some of the best-known poems in the English language, including The Waste Land (1922), The Hollow Men (1925) […] He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1948, „for his outstanding, pioneer contribution to present-day poetry
The Hollow Men appeared in 1925. […] It is Eliot’s major poem of the late 1920s. […]
[A critic] perceived a shift in Eliot’s method, writing that, „The mythologies disappear altogether in The Hollow Men.“ This is a striking claim for a poem as indebted to Dante as anything else in Eliot’s early work […] The „continuous parallel between contemporaneity and antiquity“ that is so characteristic of his mythical method remained in fine form. The Hollow Men contains some of Eliot’s most famous lines, notably its conclusion:
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.

Ég hef lengi haft áhuga á ljóðum T. S. Eliots en, eins og væntanlega flestum öðrum lesendum þeirra, þá var merking þeirra sem lokuð bók fyrir mér. En þó var ég nokkuð viss um að hann þekkti vel til Hamlet mýtunnar í útfærslu Shakespeares og ætti því að hafa verið kunnugur arfleifð Snorra og Sturlu.
Í gær og dag fór ég ítarlega yfir The Hollow Men og The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock og athugaði líka Author‘s Notes sem fylgdu The Waste Land. Niðurstaðan er ótvíræð:
Öll þrjú ljóðin byggja á arfleifð Snorra og Sturlu.
Ljóðið The Hollow Men er í fimm hlutum og leiðir síðasti hlutinn til niðurstöðu skáldsins um lok veraldar.
Kjarni málsins felst í samspili hugmynda, orða og tölugilda skv. Táknmálslykli Reykholtsmáldaga og læt ég því allar umsagnir og orðaskýringar liggja á milli hluta hér að neðan.
