The first part of the poem; the poem is “The
Burial of the Dead” the poem speaker talk about how
spring is an a horrible time or year starring up memories
of a bhagon days and unfulfilled desires.The first part
Burial of the Dead starts with this line :
April is the cruellest month breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, Stirring
Dull roots with spring rain......

7. In this line unknown speaker claims
that April is the
cruelest month, even though we might usually thinking of
Spring as a time of love.Thia section title form a line in the
Anglican burial service.These recollection from Wagner’s
operatic version of Tristan and Isolate an Arthurian take of
adultery and loss.

8. 2.A Game of Chess
This section takes its title from two plays by
The early 17th century playwright Thomas Middleton,in
one of
Which the move in A Game of Chess denote stages in
seduction.
This part start with like this lines :
The chair she sat in, like a burnished thron,
Glowed in the marble, where the glass,
Held up by standardats wrought with fruited
Vines........

9. This parts open with a description of a woman
sitting inside a really expensive room.Eliot vividly
paints a picture of someone sitting on the bank of the
famous Thames river in London.
Although Eliot is able to produce starting
beautiful poetry from the rough speech of the women
in bar he nevertheless present their conversation as
reason for pessimism.

10. 3.The Fire Sermon
The title of this, the longest section of the poem.
This part start with like this lines :
“The river’s tent is broken:the last
Fingers of leaf.
Clutch and sink into the wet bank,the wind.
Crosses the branch land, unheard
The nymphs are departed”.......

11. This section opens with a desolate Rriverside
scene : Rats and garbage surrounded the
speaker,who is fishing and “musing on the king
my brother’s wreck”.The Fire Sermon however ,
include bits of many musical pieces, including
Spenser’s wedding song, a soldier’s ballad a
nightingale’s chirps,a song from Oliver
Goldsmith’s The Vicar of Wake filed,and a
mandolins tune.

12. 4.Death by Water
This part is shortest of section in the
poem.
This part describes a man,Phlebas the
Phoenician who has died, apparently by
drowing.
This part start like lines :
“Phelbas the Phoenician a fortnight dead,
Forget the cry of gulls,and the deep sea
swell
And the profit and loss...........”

13. This line tells us that some guy named
phlebas the phoenician is the one who’s been
killed by water.He’s been dead for two weeks
or a fortnight.

14. 5.What the thunder Said
The final section o the poem opening
is taken from the crucifixion of Christ.
This section start like this lines :
“After the torchlight red on sweaty faces
After the frosty silence in the gardens,
After the agony in stony places
The shouting and the crying”..…....

15. This lines in particular refer to the moment that has come
after death of Christ,But before his rebirth on Easter
Sunday.The scene then shifts to the Ganges,half would away
from Europe, where thunder rumbles.
In this poem Thunder speak This three words :
DATTA
DAYADHVAM
DAMYATA
According to these fables,the thunder
“gives”,”sympathizes” and “controls” through out’s “speech”.
Eliot launches into a meditation on each of these aspects of
the thunder’s power.
