- "The Waste Land", by T.S. Eliot, is widely regarded as "one of the most important poems of the 20th century" and a central text in Modernist poetry. Published in 1922, the 434-line poem first appeared in the United Kingdom in the October issue of The Criterion and in the United States in the November issue of The Dial. It was published in book form in December 1922. Among its famous phrases are "April is the cruellest month", "I will show you fear in a handful of dust", and the mantra in the Sanskrit language "Shantih shantih shantih"

Though many others have recorded this ground breaking poem, none come close to hearing the voice of the poet himself. I have kept this recording close to me for over 40 years and I've never grown tired of it.
Just what I wanted. Beautiful recording. Thanks. After hearing T.S. read his own poem--no other rendition is as good.
100%, we are blessed to have the technology to hear such a genius speak his own words.
Yes, we are very lucky that we can hear Waste Land in T.S Eliot's voice.

Epigraph:
"Nam Sibyllam quidem Cumis ego ipse oculis meis vidi in ampulla pendere, et cum illi pueri dicerent: respondebat illa: Σιβυλλατι θελεις; respondebat illa: αποθανειν θελω."
For Ezra Pound
il miglior fabbro.
The poem was published exactly 100 years ago in the October issue of _The Criterion_ #TheWasteLand100
It’s genius, connecting to the sound of thunder and the message given. Truly, a work of art
His voice is so beautiful, especially combined with the lo fi recording quality. Amazing video all around. Thanks
You’ve cleaned up the recording beautifully. The hiss is gone but he’s all there. Excellent
And the warm crackle... Just perfect
"Sibyl, what do you wish?" ... "I only wish death". Great poem! The more I read on the allusions the more I love it.
The Greek is more simple, it translates to 'Sibyl, what do you want?', 'I want to die'.
he is quite uptight during the first chant but it's very funny to hear him loosen up a bit by the middle of the second chant, even doing the drunken 'good nights'
Wonderful Experience to listen Eliot The great reading his own poem ! Thanks a lot you tube.
Great! Grand! Superb! I am enthralled, I am enchanted to listen Mr.Eliot's own voice.
much better than the different readers posts....
Curious. Even to an American aware of Eliot's Anglophilia, these modernist lines have never sounded in the voice of an Oxford don. I should have known, however, that What the Thunder Said was meant for a High Church enunciation, though the minimal wording suggested dissipation. Interesting the clash between Eliot's ambitions and the reader's.
wonderful experience to hear poet heart out with his lyrics!!!
The last stanza of this poem is the most beautiful use of language in all of literature.
I sat upon the shore
Fishing, with the arid plain behind me
Shall I at least set my lands in order?
London Bridge is falling down falling down falling down
Poi s’ascose nel foco che gli affina
Quando fiam uti chelidon-O swallow swallow
Le Prince d’Aquitaine à la tour abolie
These fragments I have shored against my ruins
Why then Ile fit you. Hieronymo’s mad againe.
Datta. Dayadhvam. Damyata.
Shantih shantih shantih
Exactly! These lines are simply just remarkable
I dont understand it
@@mellonclarinet4303me neither bro

Thank you
