Detailed explanation-1: -I.A. Richards calls this aspect of versification as “music of ideas” By this, he means that the lines which contain the impression and ideas of Tiresias, the protagonist, are majestic, solemn and slow, while containing the dialogues of waste landers are colloquial, light and swift.
Detailed explanation-2: -The manuscript draft of The Waste Land features the poem’s original title, ‘He Do the Police in Different Voices’. T S Eliot drew the quotation from Charles Dickens’s novel, Our Mutual Friend (1864).
Detailed explanation-3: -The title itself indicates Eliot’s attitude towards his contemporary society, as he uses the idea of a dry and sterile wasteland as a metaphor for Europe devastated by war and desperate for spiritual replenishment.
Detailed explanation-4: -Eliot, published in 1922, first in London in The Criterion (October), next in New York City in The Dial (November), and finally in book form, with footnotes by Eliot. The 433-line, five-part poem was dedicated to fellow poet Ezra Pound, who helped condense the original manuscript to nearly half its size.
