Pope’s ‘heroi-comic’ epic is a social satire. The action completes in one single day in the life of fashionable recusants of London. Belinda gets up from bed at about noon and spends a few hours in ‘denting and painting’. She has to take part in a card game named ‘Ombre’ at Hampton Court Palace. She along with a number of young men and ladies undertake a boat journey in the river Tames to reach the destination in the north Bank. Ariel, the divine angel guesses some evil to happen on Belinda and engages his troop of Sylphs to guard Belinda’s possessions and honour. An adventurous youth Robert,Lord Petre is determined to steal Belinda’s tempting ‘Locks’ of hair.
The Waste Land by T S Eliot. It's one of the most influential poems ever written. One of the most innovative. And, to many, the greatest poem of the twentieth century.
So why is it so difficult to read? Many (including those who've read it) still feel at a loss when they try to talk about the poem, let alone enjoy it. Is that even possible?
In his talk "Reading The Waste Land," Will Gray will explore these all-too-common experiences while delving into the poem itself, its writing and its sources, its difficulty and its graceful energy, its long road that out of hell leads up to light. Shouldn't your experience of such a great poem be . . . well, great?
[Note: For a maximum listening experience, you'll want to read the poem in advance, and even bring a copy if you have one. See you there!]
Will Gray is a Lecturer in Contemporary Literature at Clemson University. He writes professionally for VantagePoint marketing firm and is finishing a PhD on T S Eliot and the Metaphysical poets from the University of St Andrews in Scotland. To boot, he likes to think he's a nice guy who can talk about complicated topics in less-than-complicated ways.

Beatrice Addressing Dante from the Car
In this picture Dante (standing in the right hand corner) finally meets Beatrice, who is the crowned figure on the chariot. Beatrice was the love of Dante’s
life, and was the subject of his first collection of poems, Vita Nuova. She died when she was only 25 years old – hence her presence in the afterlife as
the central figure of The Divine Comedy.
Anxious that Dante had gone astray after her death, it was Beatrice who, in the scheme of the poem, arranged for Virgil to guide him through Hell and
Purgatory. She is veiled but Dante nonetheless senses who she is and begins to tremble. Beatrice, however, represents more than love. In the scheme
of the poem she is divine revelation and grace.
The rich and bright colours used here express Dante’s double delight. He is reunited with his lady-love, and at the same time is experiencing a
revelation of the divine.
47. BLAKE, William
The Night of Enitharmon’s Joy (formerly called ‘Hecate’)
The dense, dark colour-printing in the sky and the rocks suggests that this was the first of the three known impressions to be printed.
Blake has used pen and ink to give strong outlines to the figures, and to draw locks of hair, the bat, and the donkey’s mane and rough
coat. The figures have been given form and roundness by washes of intense but transparent colour. The owl’s eyes are highlighted with a
bright, opaque red wash.
Enitharmon is a character in Blake’s mythology. In her ‘night of joy’ she sets out her false religion.
48. BLAKE, William
Isaac Newton
The eighteenth-century poet, Alexander Pope, wrote a satirical epitaph for Newton:
Nature and Nature’s laws lay hid in night
God said Let Newton be! And all was light.
This shows just how much the eighteenth century revered the great philosopher. Newton had successfully explained the workings of the physical universe. To
Blake, however, this was not enough: Newton had omitted God, as well as all those significant emotional and spiritual elements which cannot be quantified,
from his theories. Blake boasted that he had ‘fourfold vision’ while Newton with his ‘single vision’ was as good as asleep. To Blake, Newton, Bacon and Locke
with their emphasis on reason were nothing more than ‘the three great teachers of atheism, or Satan’s Doctrine’.
In this print from 1795 Newton is portrayed drawing with a pair of compasses. Compasses were a traditional symbol of God, ‘architect of the universe’, but
notice how the picture progresses from exuberance and colour on the left, to sterility and blackness on the right. In Blake’s view Newton brings not light,
but night.
49. BLAKE, William
The Body of Abel Found by Adam and Eve
This work shows Adam and Eve discovering their dead son. His brother Cain, the murderer, flees the scene. Despite his evil deed, Cain, appears as an
ideal male figure. Here, Blake’s approach is in line with that of Lavater, who argued that someone’s appearance is often ‘better than his actions’. However
Lavater also suggested that in performing an evil act the person could become disfigured, perhaps explaining Cain’s contorted body.
Rather than follow Lavater here, Blake’s use of the body to invoke self-loathing, fear and, in the case of Eve, despair may be closer to pathognomy - a way
of reading emotions about which Lavater remained sceptical.
50. BLAKE, William
The Lovers' Whirlwind, Francesca da Rimini and Paolo Malatesta
This is the most celebrated of William Blake's illustrations to Dante's 'Divine Comedy' commissioned by John Linnell. Blake followed Dante's narrative, but
his interpretation of the story is original. This scene illustrates the scene in the Inferno, the journey through Hell, when Dante and Virgil meet the
adulturous lovers Francesca da Rimini and Paolo.
In this circle people guilty of the sin of lust are whirled round and round in an unending storm. The storm, of course, represents irresistible passion.
Among those being blown about are mythic and historical queens such as Helen of Troy and Cleopatra of Egypt. Dante, however, chooses to speak to
Paolo and Francesca, famous lovers from Rimini.
Francesca had been married to the brave, but physically deformed Gianciotto. She was reading an Arthurian romance with his better-looking brother,
Paolo, when passion got the better of them. Gianciotto, enraged, murdered them both, for which he was consigned to the deepest circle of Hell (where
Dante shall later meet him).
Dante is so moved by this romantic tale that he faints, hence his position flat on his back. Notice that above Virgil’s head a sun-like disc contains a sketch
of a couple embracing, while the wind-blown lovers themselves seem to be flying up and out of the picture to freedom.
Blake disapproved of Dante for depicting God as a vengeful judge, whose role was to inflict ingenious punishment (similar to his own Urizen), and these
details are his subtle protest. As we can see in poems such as The Garden Of Love, Blake himself believed that suppressing desire was a far worse crime
than yielding to it.0
51. BLAKE, William
Pity
An image inspired by verses from Macbeth:
Pity, like a naked newborn babe
Striding the blast, or heaven’s cherubim horsed
Upon the sightless couriers of the air.
William Blake drew on popularly-held associations between a fair complexion and moral purity. These connections are also made by Lavater, who writes
that ‘the grey is the tenderest of horses, and, we may here add, that people with light hair, if not effeminate, are yet, it is well known, of tender formation
and constitution’..
The print exists in four versions from two different matrices. The most elaborate and best-known version of the print is in the Tate Gallery, London,
sometimes described as the only finished one.
52. BLAKE, William
was an English poet, painter, and printmaker. Largely unrecognised during his lifetime, Blake is now
considered a seminal figure in the history of the poetry and visual arts of the Romantic Age. His
prophetic works have been said to form "what is in proportion to its merits the least read body of
poetry in the English language".
His visual artistry led one contemporary art critic to proclaim him "far and away the greatest artist
Britain has ever produced". In 2002, Blake was placed at number 38 in the BBC's poll of the 100
Greatest Britons. Although he lived in London his entire life (except for three years spent in Felpham),
he produced a diverse and symbolically rich œuvre, which embraced the imagination as "the body of
God" or "human existence itself".
Although Blake was considered mad by contemporaries for his idiosyncratic views, he is held in high
regard by later critics for his expressiveness and creativity, and for the philosophical and mystical
undercurrents within his work. His paintings and poetry have been characterised as part of the
Romantic movement and as "Pre-Romantic". Reverent of the Bible but hostile to the Church of
England (indeed, to almost all forms of organised religion), Blake was influenced by the ideals and
ambitions of the French and American Revolutions.
Despite these known influences, the singularity of Blake's work makes him difficult to classify.
