The Waste Land is a poem about the loss of the age of innocence but from the perspective of a slightly aristocratic, conservative man who bemoans the state of the world after WW1 - the loss of that privileged, idyllic life that only a few knew. It doesn't speak to the masses, it doesn't speak to the marginalised. It doesn't speak to me!
Not the Eliot poem that I was searching out- the one with scuttling Crustaceans in a late stanza... but the unknown pleasure of this linkage with Joy Division dictated, in part, this posting. There is much more to say, as always, but my brain is failing to memorize its' more eloquent productions.
