The Waste Land

One of the greatest poems in the English language.
 
The Waste Land is T.S. Eliot’s masterpiece, a beautiful examination of themes of decay and despair. Like many of his works, it alludes frequently to famous pieces of literature and legend, in this case most prominently to the legends of the Holy Grail and the Fisher King.
 
Several images and lines from The Waste Land have become lodged in the popular consciousness, including “April is the cruellest month” and “I will show you fear in a handful of dust.”
