What feelings do Eliot's choice of words express

to the reader?

DONE

The memory throws up high and dry

A crowd of twisted things;

A twisted branch upon the beach

Eaten smooth, and polished

As if the world gave up

The secret of its skeleton,

Stiff and white.

A broken spring in a factory yard,

Rust that clings to the form that the strength

has left

Hard and curled and ready to snap.
