"The Hollow Men" by Thomas Stearns Eliot (poetry reading)

The Hollow Men was written in 1925 Eliot said the name was a mixture of "The Broken Men" of Rudyard Kipling with "The Hollow Land" of William Morris. There are strong references to Guy Fawkes.

The portrait of T.S. Eliot was by Wyndham Lewis in 1938

The picture is of a Japanese scarecrow, reworked in Paint Shop Pro.
