T. S. Eliot - The Waste Land flac album

For ezra pound IL miglior fabbro. I. The Burial of the Dead. April is the cruellest month, breeding. Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing. Memory and desire, stirring. Dull roots with spring rain. Crosses the brown land, unheard. The nymphs are departed. Sweet Thames, run softly, till I end my song.

About The Waste Land. Much of the power of The Waste Land derives from the allusions and name-dropping peppered heavily throughout the poem, in a style often described as fragmented or collage-like. This kind of fragmentation, as variously practiced by Eliot, Ezra Pound, Marianne Moore, and others, was one of the defining features of Modernist poetry in English.

Eliot's "The Waste Land" has been called "one of the most important poems of the 20th Century" and it might actually be one of the most important poems ever. In its original draft, the poem was almost twice as long as the published version. Maybe what Eliot should have been concerned about was penning a poem that's considered incomprehensible by many first-time readers the world over. The poem constantly shifts between different speakers without warning, and it's chock full of references to classic literature from cultures all over the world, many of which are more than a little obscure.

The Waste Land' signified the movement from Imagism – optimistic, bright-willed to modernism, itself a far darker, disillusioned way of writing. Drawing allusions from everything from the Fisher King to Buddhism, The Waste Land was published in 1922, and remains one of the most important Modernist texts to date. Modernist poetry, itself a calling-back to older ways of writing, and developing, in part, as a response to overwrought Victorian poetry, started in the early years of the 20th century, with the intent of bringing poetry to the layman – similar to Wordworth‘s attempt over a hundred years before.

The Waste Land, first published in 1922, is arguably the most important poem of the whole twentieth century. It remains a timely poem, even though its origins were very specifically the post-war Europe of 1918-22; nevertheless, the poem takes on a new significance in the age of Brexit. Written by T. Eliot, who was then beginning to make a name for himself following the publication (and modest success) of his first two volumes of poetry, The Waste Land has given rise to more critical analysis and scholarly interpretation than just about any other poem

Eliot’s The Waste Land. John McGuirk, August 31st, 2003. Jazz Age Modernism Poetry Transgressive. Eliot was born in 1888 and by the age of 29 he had published his first collection of poems, Prufrock and Other Observations (1917) amidst the seemingly unending carnage of western civilization's First World War (1914-1918). Along with this, his life during the early 1920s was under personal strain due to marriage difficulties with his wife, Vivienne Haigh-Wood, and Eliot, now near nervous-breakdown, spent two months in a Swiss Sanitorium.
