Eliot also strongly suggested that poetry must balance intellect, (thought) and emotion (feeling). The feelings of the individual poet must become a matter of thought for everyone in the poem. This balance is called 'unified sensibility'. The present poem presents only objective correlatives of poverty; the poet doesn't describe his feelings put presents objects that correlate or correspond to sympathy towards the poor. He balances the underlying feelings of pathos (pity) with a thoughtful mind and serous art. Eliot shows how personal emotion can be transformed into a universal thought-provoking image. Eliot also presents things as his impressions recorded them. The twisted face, the aimless smile, the eyes with tears, the muddy skirts are fragments of his impressions. The poet presents in the same way that these things made the impression on him. In this sense, the poem is impressionistic
