oliviaramsey21 's review for:
The Waste Land
by T.S. Eliot
i read this some years ago and i’m still thinking about it enough that i re-read it recently.
“April is the cruelest month…”
“Ganga was sunken, and the limp leaves / Waited for rain, while the black clouds / Gathered far distant, over Himavant. / The jungle crouched, humped in silence. / Then spoke the thunder / DA / Datta: what have we given?”
“I will show you fear in a handful of dust.”
t.s eliot is a genius. this poem got me into the poetry literary canon because it’s simply incredible. no other poet has written in quite the same evocative way. im currently making art based on this poem!
