Lingua inglese

The Waste Land: the speaking voice
The poem, which is considered a central work in Symbolism, does not follow any order and doesn't have an internal unity. Eliot uses fragmented images of metaphysical narratives. There is a contrast between the fertility of a mythical past and the values of the present world. However, there is one voice, which all the fragmentary passages seem to belong to: this is the voice of a single personality transcending the limits of space and time.
