Das öde Land: Englisch und deutsch

The poem feels like a critique of post-war disillusionment and cultural collapse. Did anyone else find a particular section more impactful or revealing about Eliot's views?

The poem jumps between voices, styles, and references, which can be disorienting but also powerful. I'm curious if this mirrors the chaos Eliot wanted to convey or if it was a stylistic choice.

Eliot weaves in so many literary and cultural references that some parts felt dense or cryptic. How do readers usually approach unpacking these layers without losing the overall meaning?
