[hometext] => After reading T. S. Eliot's 'the WasteLand' I started to think about what a waste land would be from a different perspective. Also, there are two allusions in this poem, see if you can figure what they are and to what peices of literature they refer.
[bodytext] => Look; what do you see? A land once loved, green and fair, lies scorched and barren. (Never to return to beauty; no, beauty is gone) Boiling blood drowns once crowded streets. (Never walked again; no, the feet are stopped) Once clear streams are stilled, stagnant in their filth. (Never to flow again; no, they are choked) Tall strong trees are gone and dead. (Never to grow again; no, no chance to return) Gentle beasts have fled or died in fruitless struggle. (Never to grow again; no, no more life) All actors have left the stage. (Never to fret again; no, the play is over) No more tears, no more laughter, no more love.
