T. S. ELIOT
Thomas Stearns Eliot Om born on 26 September 1888 – 4 January 1965, "one of the twentieth century's major poets", was also an essayist, publisher, playwright, and literary and social critic. Born in St. Louis Missouri to a prominent Boston Brahmin family, he moved to England in 1914 at the age of 25 and would settle, work, and marry there. He became a British subject in 1927 at the age of 39, subsequently renouncing his American passport.

 The waste land


 The waste land by T. S. Eliot. In modern era epic poem was very famous. During that time T.S.Eliot written one of the modern epic poem " The Waste Land". This epic poem divided into different five parts.



1) The Burial Of the Dead 
2) A game of Chess 
3) The Fire Sermon 
4) Death by Water
5) What the thunder Said 



           This poem presented writers stream of consciousness, first world war, industrialization, worried of atmosphere, globalization with Indian mythical ways.





1)What are your views on the following image after reading 'The Waste Land'? Do you think that Eliot is regressive as compared to Nietzche's views? or Has Eliot achieved universality of thought by recalling mytho-historical answer to the contemporary malaise?
 According to me,  Fried Rich Nietzsche's has noble thought of Ubermensch and it is significant rather than the idea of T. S. Eliot.  Normally Eliot's thoughts related as regressive. Nowadays If Some people and specific groups are suggesting to joining with them. May be same experience with you. Right ? I will try to explain with example of religion for better understanding. 

2) Prior to the speech, Gustaf Hellström of the Swedish Academy made these remarks:What are your views regarding these comments? Is it true that giving free vent to the repressed 'primitive instinct' lead us to happy and satisfied life? or do you agree with Eliot's view that 'salvation of man lies in the preservation of the cultural tradition.
 Here, in the epic poem I think Eliot has powerful ideas rather than Sigmund Freud Another thing is that  We all are lives our lives with specific perspective, with discipline and with moral rituals. Although life became more appropriate and enjoyable. Thus here i don't agree with idea of Freud.

3) Write about allusions to the Indian thoughts in 'The Waste Land'. 
 ' The Waste Land ' poem was a combination of vivid languages and myths. here I found  many references like,
  • Three " DA" :-

At the last part of the poem Eliot used three types of " Da ". 

Da- Datt   ( Devote )
                Da- Dayadhvam (  Sympathy )
            Da- Damyta ( Self Control )
 Here Eliot used three types of ' Da ' for gave different messages to the community. These are put solution of the all problem in front of the world.

The Butterfly poem by Arun Kolatker

Here I discuss about  a poem is a literary form composed in verse. It normally gives account of personal feelings, emotions and imagination. The poem The Butterfly There is no story behind it. It is split like a second. It hinges around itself. It has no future. It is pinned down to no past. It’s a pun on the present. It’s a little yellow butterfly. It has taken these wretched hills under its wings. Just a pinch of yellow, it opens before it closes and closes before it o where is it. When I was in B.A I studied various poems. For example The Butterfly which was written by  Arun Kolatkar, an Indian poet wrote about the place- Jejuri, a temple town. Jejuri is a poor place and the hills in Jejuri show the barrenness of the place. His style is simple (English) in contrast with Mahapatra where he uses English and his ideas very effectively. Whatever he sees in Jejury they have a story of their own. The poet says there is no story behind the butterfly, the very being...
