An Hallucinated Man: The battles over T. S. Eliot’s legacy

"An" hallucinated? Not "A" hallucinated?
Is it pronounced with a vowel sound (silent H like in ... an hour)?
And this applies to “h”. For pretty much the whole of the Victorian period “an hallucinated” was considered correct. I know people who still consider it correct, modern style guides be damned.
Eliot, ever the English traditionalist cosplayer, would have treated h as a vowel for these purposes.
I will never not be amused by this description.
