BackT.S. Eliot reading The Waste Land. Recording of the poem by the poet himself set to some pictures. Nothing fancy. Just to get the audio up for anybody who has never heard him do it before.

I have no doubt that this is the masterpiece of last centuries's poetry

This poem, in my opinion forms the most crystalline and eye-openingly dazzling insight into the wanderings of the human mind. So beautiful and tragic.

My favorite reading is by Alec Guiness.

T.S. Eliot finally I hear his voice - after all this years!
"I am poet I know it hope i don't blow it"
Robert Zimmerman
But why is this unique clip under entertainment?
This should be listed under poetry!

that reveal new intentions (Eliot comes to the point of including just lone three word phrases, being the source from where it came from the important fact)

i mean, i love the waste land, i love Eliot but i can't stop thinking that maybe this poem and the generations of poets and songs it has spawned have brought poetry to the edge of extinction- confining it to a solemn and restricted mausoleum- because of it's hermetic intelectuality.
Nevertheless this poem works on many levels: you can read it and discover it is a compound of quotations and recall inmediatly the point of the poem. But then you do your heavy research and find deeper meanings

actually, there were lots and lots of germans in lithuania (as well as in latvia and estonia) until the first world war

a religious or even an ironically religious character. After so many disasters, so many disonances, so many voices, Eliot conduct them into the harmonic repetition of the word "shantih". This poem is so great and so difficult that I could tell you many more things. I hope these words are enough for the moment.
