Best poem ever written. However, did he somehow think reading this in the audio style of a 300 year old English wizard would be effective

I like how the poem is presented like a dialogue between three oracles/voices,reminds me of the Gospel reading of Christ's Passion and death during Holy Week...

A really really great poem by a brilliant poet ! Do save this treasure of ours !....

Soda pop kid

“Throw three!” Like Charles Bronson.😆

What a masterpiece.

Where did Jack meet Caroline? She’s quite a character!❤😆 This is my favourite part of the film. “Go snake eyed!”

Let us go, then U and I

"I have measured out my life with coffee spoons" really gets me.

I once had oysters in a Louisiana restaurant that had sawdust all over the floor. Don't remember its name or exact location.

In April 1943 a bunch of poets gave readings of their work before the Royal Family. During Eliot's recital of 'The Waste Land' Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret were seen struggling not to giggle.

❤😂😅😅😅

Unbelievable to have multiple adverts paced throughout this reading. Shame on you!!

I forgot this scene. The battle and massacre scenes dominated the movie.

Hi everyone! I am currently studying this text and it is brilliant! I am completely mazed by it! I have a question though, why are some parts ready by a lady? and who is this lady?

Very sexy repetition. Voice kinda cringe

Thought he grew up in Missouri….

It could not have been read better !

I just did a reading of this poem on my channel, and I was curious as to how the man himself sounded, so I googled this...amazing! I also really enjoyed the Jeremy Irons version, although twas a bit solemn. Anthony Hopkins went too fast for me.

He wrote my biography before my birth.

I forget that TS Eliot was such a voice actor that he could sound like such a higher pitched woman. Truly impressive, and a shame most people know him fornhis poetry and not his fantastic mimicry. Lol.

It's so beautifully written 😍..

It's a sin to put ads on this.

The modern condition- hold my beer. I have a few beeline words.

Who needs drugs or alcohol? I am enchanted by a little coffee and a scintillating recitation of a brilliant poem. Thanks for the upload.

can someone explain this to me?

Note these are not ciphers

Ahhh... before Jackie Robinson hit his first home run at his first at bat.

Rakeem vs Eminem

Brilliant...

Kinda sounds like a young Boris Karloff

I read this poem about 40 years ago....till date I get goosebumps. My favorite poem and poet of all time.

I just cried. I hate life. And it's all there is

I am J. Alfred Prufrock 😢

He's really bad at reading his poems tbh. The recording of Prufrock blows. This is a little better I guess

I love hearing Eliot read his own work. I used to have a recording of his reading out the Waste Land.

Eliot, Pound, and Kipling are S tier.

Great with different voices as well as Eliot's

A question on your plate

This volume includes the full contents of Prufrock and other poems (1917) Poems (1920) and the waste land (1922) Together with an informative introduction and a selection of background material. First and foremost, the protagonist is starring right at you in this tutorial, which to me, indicates a plea for incentive, never mind the during or after, it should cost you and you. Whether, the combustion is costing you highly, he shou shou's you for him alone. Lisa

In one of the weirdest movies ever made -- John Boorman's sci-fi oddity "ZARDOZ" -- a man named Arthur Frayn, whom the protagonist (named Zed, portrayed by Sean Connery) had murdered near the film's beginning, has returned to life and conversed with his own murderer . . . and he quotes a passage from this poem, the bit about Lazarus come back from the dead to show you all. It's probably a sign that there's something wrong with me, but I've been a fan of that bizarre movie ever since I first saw it at a college theater, shown for Campus Attractions on a double bill with one of my favorite films, "LOGAN'S RUN." I think I've long held the suspicion that if I can 'get' all the references Boorman put into the mouths of his characters -- including (especially) this one from Eliot's poem -- then I'll have discovered other deeper layers of relevance and meaning in the strange story he dreamed up and managed to get filmed back in the early to mid '70s, before "STAR WARS" (as fun as it was) redefined the sci-fi film as adolescent adventure with lots of fast motion and explosions.

Watched the movie yesterday on Italian TV and was looking here on YT for that scene at 02:09 … made me laugh so hard

‘The Waste Land’ is the milestone in the history of British Poetry.

This is my absolute favorite movies of all time… I always try to get people to watch it or read the book and they always grumble “not another western flick” until I mention the movie stars young Dustin Hoffman lol

for the past 10 years or so, I've been coming back to this video every time I've had too much to take. I listen to it till I fall asleep.

اقرا كثيرا في الليل واسافر الى الجنوب في الشتاء ....هل تعرف اللاشيئ ، هل تتذكر اللاشيئ ؟ ....على رمال ( ماركيت ) اربط اللاشيئ باللاشيئ .....ارى حشودا تسير في دائرة ....( كورليونس ) المحطم .....(( ايها القارئ ، صديقي ، شبيهي ، ايها المنافق )) ...

Holy shit! I grew up with my grandparents, and my grandma painted. She had a painting of Mark Twain she did, which was very ominous. It hung right next to another painting she did that always frightened me as a child. I'm 37 and just now stumbled randomly upon the "scary" man in the painting. How beautiful. It wasn't this picture though. He had on a hat and glasses.

I'm trying to listen to this book for a class and I don't get wtf is the point of this book or how this relates to the modernism section of books in our class.
