the final version of "The Waste Land" is significant. At the time of the poem’s composition‚ Eliot was ill‚ struggling to recover from his nervous breakdown and languishing through an unhappy marriage. Pound offered him support and friendship; his belief in and admiration for Eliot were enormous. Pound‚ like Eliot a crucible of modernism‚ called for compression‚ ellipsis‚ reduction. The poem grew yet more cryptic; references that were previously clear now became more obscure. Explanations were out the

This fulfills early premonitions about Pearson’s unreliability as a narrator. The first significant piece
