The cultural degeneration from Shakespeare to popular music is emblematic of the decline and debasement seen throughout The Waste Land. Eliot has interestingly affixed an “O O O O” to the beginning of the song, which is reminiscent of the final lines of Hamlet: “The rest is silence. / O, o, o, o.”. It’s so elegant.
Eliot, T.S., 1888-1965 . I. THE BURIAL OF THE DEAD . April is the cruellest month, breeding . Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing . Memory and desire, stirring . Dull roots with spring rain. Winter kept us warm, covering 5 . Earth in forgetful snow, feeding . A little life with dried tubers.

Text of The Waste Land by T.S. Eliot with annotations, references, map, and Eliot's notes.
- I do not know much about gods; but I think that the river. Is a strong brown god—sullen, untamed and intractable, Patient to some degree, at first recognised as a frontier;
- The river is within us, the sea is all about us; (…) The bell. In this powerful stanza from T.S. Eliot’s ‘The Dry Salvages,’ the poet delves deep into the symbolism of the sea, exploring its multifaceted nature and its profound impact on human existence.
- Where is there an end of it, the soundless wailing, (…) Prayer at the calamitous annunciation? In this poignant stanza, the poet delves into the themes of mortality, impermanence, and the enduring impact of loss.
- There is no end, but addition: the trailing. (…) And therefore the fittest for renunciation. In this stanza of ‘The Dry Salvages,’ the poet explores the profound impact of time and emotional experiences on human existence.
Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death Pray for us now and at the hour of our death. II. Lady, three white leopards sat under a juniper-tree In the cool of the day, having fed to satiety / On my legs my heart my liver and that which had been contained In the hollow round of my skull.
