Industry Reviews
"By using very little imagery, by his language which is so idiomatic that one accepts his rhythm as that of ordinary speech with an insistent beat pulsing through it...Eliot really does portray real-seeming characters. He cuts down his poetic effects to the minimum, and then finally rewards us with most beautiful poetry. This arises out of the intensity of the dramatic situation, and is as natural as the 'flat' passages."
New York Times Book Review - Stephen Spender (03/19/1950)
