I don't think so. Dylan is beautifully lyrical. He uses images, but is not cryptic. I love his poetry btw.

I don't know about specifics - looked briefly but couldn't find anything. There's no doubt that Dylan has read Elliot and has to a degree been influenced by him.

No.
Dylan's poetry was influenced mostly by oral and musical traditions
