The eyes of Dr. T.j. Eckleburg
The eyes of Dr. T.j. Eckleburg is a billboard of green eyes, which watch over the Valley of the Ashes. The eyes of Dr. T. J. Eckleberg, as they were named, are described as blue and
gigantic - their retinas are one yard high and dimmed a little by many paintless days under the sun and rain, brood over the solemn dumping ground.The billboard overlooks the Valley of
Ashes, a wasteland where ashes grow like wheat into ridges and hills, and grotesque gardens. People have long polluted this area with dumped ashes, garbage, and manure.
The eyes are representative of the eyes of God. They look down upon the people who pass through the valley and judge them. While they can still be thought of as the eyes of God.
