Essay on Thomas Stearn Eliot "The Hollow Men"

The Hollow Men

T. S. Eliot (1925)

Mistah Kurtz- he dead.

We are the hollow men We are the stuffed men

Our dried voices, when We whisper together Are quiet and meaningless As wind in dry grass

These do not appear:

In the wind's singing

Let me be no nearer

Not that final meeting

As the perpetual star

Between the motion
