    These lines from "Gerontion" seem to speak to part of your question:

                                                                        
                Think
            44Neither fear nor courage saves us. Unnatural vices
            45Are fathered by our heroism.  Virtues
            46Are forced upon us by our impudent crimes.

In a world so described it could not be good works that would save us.
