The Hippopotamus- T.S. Eliot


This poem is written with two very different techniques and about two different topics. I liked how Eliot wrote the first lines of every stanza about the hippopotamus but then the next two were about religion. Eliot spoke of the fruit that rejuvenates the Church and how it is built on a rock and can never be washed away.
