16、sted in poetry in about 1902 with the discovery of Romantic. He had recalled how he was initiated into poetry by Edward Fitzgeralds Omar Khayyam at the age of fourteen. “It was like a sudden conversion“, he said, an “overwhelming introduction to a new world of feeling.“ From then on, till about his
17、twentieth year of age (1908), he took intensive courses in Byron, Shelley, Keats, Tennyson, Rossetti and Swinburne. It is, no doubt, a period of keen enjoyment.At this period, the poem, or the poetry of a single poet, invades the youthful consciousness and assume complete possession for a time.The f
18、requent result is an outburst of scribbling which we may call imitation.It is not deliberate choice of a poet to mimic, but writing under a kind of daemonic possession by one poet.

22、gh a simple contrast. The flowers in the field are blooming and flourishing, but those in his lovers wreath are fading and withering. The point is that, as flowers become waste then they have been plucked, so love passes when it has been consummated. The poem achieves an effect similar to that of Sh
23、elleys “when the amp is shattered“. The form, the dictation and the images are all borrowed. So is the carpe diem theme. In “Song: The Moon- lower Opens“ (1909), Eliot makes the flower - love comparison once more and complains that his love is too old-hearted and does not have “tropical flowers/With
24、 scarlet life for me“. In these poem, Eliot is not writing in his own right, but the poets who possessed him are writing through him. He is imitating in the usual sense of the word, having not yet developed his critical sense. It should not be strange to find him at this stage so interested in flowe
