"The Waste Land" by T. S. Eliot is a landmark modernist poem that explores themes of disillusionment, fragmentation, and the search for meaning in a post-World War I world. Through a mix of voices, literary allusions, and vivid imagery, the poem reflects the spiritual and cultural decay of the modern era while hinting at the possibility of renewal.
