<P> Some critics read the poem as told from three perspectives , each representing a phase of the passing of a soul into one of death 's kingdoms ( `` death 's dream kingdom '' , `` death 's twilight kingdom '' , and `` death 's other kingdom '' ) . Eliot describes how we , the living , will be seen by `` Those who have crossed / With direct eyes ( ... ) not as lost / Violent souls , but only / As the hollow men / The stuffed men . '' The image of eyes figures prominently in the poem , notably in one of Eliot 's most famous lines `` Eyes I dare not meet in dreams '' . Such eyes are also generally accepted to be in reference to Dante 's Beatrice ( see below ) . </P>
