Among his most famous lines are April is the cruellest month and I will show you fear in a handful of dust. The poem falls may be placed alongside other prominent modernist poetry and is especially remarkable for its abrupt change of speaker place and time. The Waste Land is pregnant with the futility and despair that pervaded the literary elite of the post-World War I era.
