With the advent of modern science and technology new concepts are used in poetry. Though time and space have been talked about by ancient writers as Aristotle and Plato, its usage in the modern scenario has changed greatly. Eliot in his writings has used three kinds of spaces apart from the geographical setting. They are exterior spaces, interior spaces and the liminal spaces. The spacing or the spatial setting matters as well. It creates a visual image. It also refers to stylistic and structural features. Use of time can be brought out clearly by using myths. Myth also indicates the circular pattern of time. Eliot accentuates the idea of past being in the present and both occurring in the future by using myth. The ubiquitous nature of myth makes it recur in time and space.
