2 months ago | rockthebestmusic.com | T. S. Eliot |Ángel Ferrer

El poema de hoy es el extenso La Tierra Baldía, de T. S. Elliot. Un poema larguísimo que retrata la vida de aquella época. Elliot deja fluir su pensamiento de manera que es registrado según fluye de su mente. Fue publicado en 1922, y consta de cinco partes tituladas cada una. Analizando la traducción, en un principio, se hace lenta. Hasta que uno da con la forma de construir del poeta.
Portrait of a Lady

Jun 26, 2024 | poetryfoundation.org | T. S. Eliot

I Among the smoke and fog of a December afternoon You have the scene arrange itself — as it will seem to do— With 'I have saved this afternoon for you'; And four wax candles in the darkened room, Four rings of light upon the ceiling overhead, An atmosphere of Juliet's tomb Prepared for all the things to be said, or left unsaid. We have been, let us say, to hear the latest Pole Transmit the Preludes, through his hair and finger-tips.

T. S. Eliot | Global Justice in the 21st Century - TRANSCEND Media Service The Naming of CatsThe Naming of Cats is a difficult matter, It isn’t just one of your holiday games;You may think at first I’m as mad as a hatterWhen I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES. First of all, there’s the name that the family use daily, Such as Peter, Augustus, Alonzo, or James,Such as Victor or Jonathan, George or Bill Bailey— All of them sensible everyday names.

Journey of the Magi

Dec 24, 2023 | poets.org | T. S. Eliot |John Greenleaf Whittier |James Joyce

Find and share the perfect poems. ‘A cold coming we had of it, Just the worst time of the year For a journey, and such a long journey: The ways deep and the weather sharp, The very dead of winter.’ And the camels galled, sore-footed, refractory, Lying down in the melting snow. There were times we regretted The summer palaces on slopes, the terraces, And the silken girls bringing sherbet.
The Three Voices of Poetry

Sep 26, 2023 | theatlantic.com | T. S. Eliot

1I SHALL explain at once what I mean by the “three voices.” The first is the voice of the poet talking to himself-or to nobody. The second is the voice of the poet addressing an audience, whether large or small. The third is the voice of the poet when he attempts to create a dramatic character speaking in verse; when he is saving, not what he would say in his own person, but only what he can say within the limits of one imaginary character addressing another imaginary character.
Riding High by Andrew McMillan

Reading a selected poems is a little like taking part in one of those guided walking tours that my in-laws often enjoyed. If you already know the location well, there’s interest in seeing which parts the guide will highlight. If the terrain is new, then you get curated memories, a certain signposted path through other people’s lives and glimpses of a more panoramic history. You’ll feel more confident in going off and exploring on your own another time.
The Hearers to Collection: T.S. Eliot’s

Mar 6, 2023 | poetryfoundation.org | Ryan Ruby |T. S. Eliot

The initial declaration of The Waste Land—“April is the cruellest month”—is clear enough in meaning, even if it defies readers’ expectations. The opening is a subversion of the first lines of the General Prologue of Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales.
Alliteration (Part II)

Editor's Note: This is the second installment in a three-part essay. To read the first installment visit this link: Part I. If alliteration in general is the presence of the same sounds in different words, and alliteration as paronomasia (or wordplay) is the presence of one word in another word, then alliteration as allusion could be defined as the presence of one poem in another poem.
