Which T.S. Eliot Poem Are You?

You are empty and lost, and even normally nice things like springtime, sexual congress, and meeting old friends basically just reminds you of death. On Margate sands, you can connect nothing … with nothing.

The Waste Land

You’re pretty battered and bruised by life and will be the first to admit that the ol’ garboard strake isn’t exactly watertight! But you’re nonetheless filled with wistful hope for the future, the lips parted, the new ships.

Marina

Your bark is worse than your bite! And your bang is worse than your whimper. You have a lot of good ideas but they don’t always necessarily turn into anything. Which is (and there is no delicate way to put this) where the shadow lies.

The Hollow Men

When you make a decision, you stick with it, but you tend to make it insanely difficult for yourself to get there. You do not hope … what I’m saying is that you do not hope to turn. Ugh, what I mean by that is that you do not hope to turn again. And precisely because you do not hope to turn again, it’ll probably all be alright in the end. :) That was one way of putting it.

Ash Wednesday

Oh boy. You are Prufrock. You’re a good person! Just timid. And indecisive. And for some reason, you wear the bottoms of your trousers rolled. Go ahead and eat that peach – it’ll probably be OK? Actually, maybe not worth the risk. Retreat!!!

The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock

You are (metaphorically speaking) an old man in a dry month being read to by a boy. After such knowledge, what forgiveness? Honestly, it probably doesn’t bear thinking about. Best to just sit quietly and wait for death.

Gerontion

You always know where to have a good time! Still point of the turning world? You’re one of the first people there. The place where the fire and the rose are one? You’ve been there and done that. The Dark? Well ... we all go into The Dark.

Four Quartets

You like to stay up late. Really late. Just wandering aimlessly, waiting for nothing in particular, except, maybe: The last twist of the knife.
