It is not actually a poem. It is however a exceptional experimental short story that everyone should read

Yeats was contemporary to him and several orders of magnitude superior.

Now that we’re all already disillusioned skeptics who are used to living in a modern world devoid of any semblance of objective meaning, Eliot seems passé, as if he’s only speaking the obvious. However, there’s something to be said about being one of the first poets to articulate the fragmentation and despair we moderns have all become accustomed to. There is a lot of beautiful language in TWL, but likely nothing conceptually that will shock you, because you were raised in the wasteland and already know it intimately.

I like Ezra Pound's Cantos better as they are not only a poignant expression of the state of modernity, but also take pains to pinpoints the REAL cause of our predicament(jewish usury) while offering up a practical solution( confucian fascism)

spanish and english speaking poets of the 20th century were just trying to do what the french had done better in the 19th.

On the contrary, I became a pol-tard because I got into Pound and other 20th century fascist writers. There is something so chic and decadent about becoming a literal fascist neon nazi out of sheer perverse dandyism.
