Waste Land
Nov. 30th, 2002 09:48 pmI'm actually quite happy with my analysis of The Waste Land. "Death by Water" makes sense to me now (it's simultaneously the death of Christ, the spiritual rebirth of the walking dead of part I, and the body of the fertility god that gets thrown out to sea and floats back fourteen days later), and "What the Thunder Said" offers a great deal of hope. Even if we are too stupid to accept it.
In the mountains, there you feel free.
I read, much of the night, and go south in the winter.
