hint of nostalgia tied to this poem. It is almost as if the modern poets wanted to mix the old with the new. The poem also talks about how there is plenty of time for everything that is supposed to happen in life. Eliot writes‚ “And time for all the works of days and hands” (29). This seems to say that the people in this era thought that they had time for

Lewis closes the book with
