If you want more essays, try Eliot's Christianity and Culture. It's pretty good, and it's pretty much what he was trying to express in The Waste Land in an essay form.

At the risk of sounding shitty. I only like Eliot for the pretty words. I think he fell apart thematically in the Four Quartets and The Wasteland is a masterwork, but not one that I care about the idea of so much as the technique. I think I'll try out Montaigne, and I got Robert Duncan's H.D. Book which might help me get into it. I appreciate the rec, though, honestly.
