What in me is dark
Illumin, what is low raise and support;
That to the highth of this great Argument
I may assert Eternal Providence,
And justifie the wayes of God to men.
John Milton

American Literature: High Modernist Poets

Good day, Am Lit students.

Here are your lovely modernist poems for the day. These are HIGH Modernist poems; it takes some work to get meaning out of them. If you read them and find yourself utterly confounded, don't despair. We'll make sense of them in class. I do want you to be familiar enough with them to discuss them in class, however, so don't skip through the reading just because it's difficult!

"The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by T. S. Eliot
"In Just--" by e e cummings
