"By the waters of Leman, I sat down and wept." There is another meaning here. The Austrian Empress Elizabeth was murdered by the shores of Lac Leman, by a Swiss anarchist. This follows up earlier references to the tragic Austrian royal family in the poem's opening "Marie, Marie, hold on tight, and down we went." A series of tragedies in the Austrian royal house eventually led to the Great War, which turned Europe into a spiritual and physical "Wasteland" in four year's time.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge Professor. I greatly appreciate these.
