i can write the saddest poem of all tonight.

…nu chiar zadarnic

ce mi s-a parut intotdeauna genial la t.s. eliot este modul in care reuseste sa creeze imagini. the waste land este poate una dintre cele mai bogate imagerii din cate mi-a fost dat sa citesc. nici ritmul ei atat de vibrant, nu este de neglijat, dar imaginile sunt extrem de pregnante, pe alocuri creand un discomfort fizic cititorilor.

mai jos un fragment :)

Unreal City,

Under the brown fog of a winter dawn,
A crowd flowed over London Bridge, so many,
I had not thought death had undone so many.
Sighs, short and infrequent, were exhaled,
And each man fixed his eyes before his feet.
Flowed up the hill and down King William Street,
To where Saint Mary Woolnoth kept the hours
With a dead sound on the final stroke of nine.
There I saw one I knew, and stopped him, crying ‘Stetson!
‘You who were with me in the ships at Mylae!
‘That corpse you planted last year in your garden,
‘Has it begun to sprout? Will it bloom this year?
‘Or has the sudden frost disturbed its bed?
‘Oh keep the Dog far hence, that’s friend to men,
‘Or with his nails he’ll dig it up again!
‘You! hypocrite lecteur!—mon semblable,—mon frère!’
