Hello Friends,
Warmly welcome to my blog. Which is based on the classroom activity on The Waste Land by T.S Eliot.
As a philosopher, theologian, poet, playwright and essayist working in the early 20th century, T.S. Eliot saw and described the American and European landscape of both World War I and World War II. The writer of such unforgettable poems as
“The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock”
“The Waste Land”
“The Four Quartets”
Eliot was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1948.

But a lifeline burning in every moment,
And not the lifeline of one man only,
But of old stones that cannot be deciphered.
-T.S ELIOT "East Coker"
