Answer:

Gloomy and Decay

Explanation:

In this poem, T S Eliot presents disillusion and physical inertia of modern life.   The eternal footman is someone who waits while holding the coats of visitors. But this footman may be doom or death and may be the giver may nor return. Hence, the footman snickers, which is a half-suppressed, scornful laugh, rather than a normal laugh since he knows the person whom coat he is holding may not return back as in the case of a visitor who enters a building for entertainment or work.

Reread pages 82-85. Which is Faber's most convincing argument about the value of books? Which is his least convincing argument?
erma4kov [3.2K]
Because of how much they show of the reality of life, books are dangerous, Faber says. He argues that most people would rather experience rootlessness than really think about life.

Second, books require leisure to digest: in other words, they can be difficult, and they take time, but these are attributes, not negatives. Because they require time, books can provoke thought and yield new ideas.

Finally, Faber says, books matter if people have the freedom to act on the ideas in them: just reading a book is not the end

Hope this helps :)
