A review by elfs29
The Waste Land and Other Poems by T.S. Eliot

challenging emotional reflective slow-paced

4.75

The only reason I cannot give this five stars is because I could never possibly understand it all. It is no less brilliant for that, of course. 

A heap of broken images, where the sun beats,
And the dead tree gives no shelter, the cricket no relief,
And the dry stone no sound of water. Only
There is shadow under this red rock,
(Come in under the shadow of this red rock),
And I will show you something different from either
Your shadow at morning striding behind you
Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you;
I will show you fear in a handful of dust.
