While hard to understand on the first or even second read. The more I dive into this poem, the greater it gets. A classic through and through

If only I understood a word of it.

A great, small selection of TS Eliot's poetry, which of course is itself excellent!

Even for being a century old, still very relevant to current times. Thank you Harry Styles

I love Eliot’s style of writing, but hate the blatant antisemitism and Christian dogma.

Honestly, Elliot's poetry confuses me. Perhaps it's over my head; I'm not sure.

"The Waste Land" was an interesting depiction of the world's wild and decayed state. At the time of its writing, 1922, Elliot was still of the doctrine of Unitarianism (he later converted to Anglicanism).. he was highlighting the world's stray. Interesting, I suppose, but not my taste.

Still: talent.
