S. Eliot, is widely regarded as one of the most important poems of the 20th century and a central work of modernist poetry.</p><p><br></p><p>In <em>The Waste Land</em>, Eliot combines the legend of the Holy Grail and the Fisher King with sketches of contemporary British society. This 434-line poem is divided into five sections: "The Burial of the Dead," "A Game of Chess," "The Fire Sermon," "Death by Water," and "What the Thunder Said."</p><p> </p>
