One of my favorite things about Eliot's poetry is its blatant confrontation of the meaninglessness and fragmentation that often permeate our lives. The above image communicates how and why Eliot came to these conclusions about modern culture and its deteriorating effects on the human mind and soul. It's interesting to ponder who or what is more to blame for us measuring out our lives with coffee spoons... ourselves or how culture preconditions and shapes us.
