About This Quote

The great 20th century poet, T.S. Eliot, wrote, "He is not the same person as when we met, but neither am I." In other words, we all grow and change through time. In this quote, Eliot shows how he too has changed. In the beginning of his relationship with Vivian, his poems were full of anger and hatred for the world. Nowadays however, he is a much more peaceful person who has learned to accept and forgive the world and everyone in it.
