I have read that passage several times now, and I admit I do not think I fully grasp what it was that TS was saying. He seems to be praising Marvell, though!
I read it through just once, and it kind of made my head hurt but yes, it would seem to indicate an appreciation for Marvell
I appreciate TS Eliot, but he's never struck me as the kind of poet I'd like to sit down and have a beer with, like I would with someone like say, EE Cummings, or Whitman, or Dylan Thomas or Oscar Wilde or Shakespeare.
