this poetic device in any 10 consecutive lines from The Waste Land. (You can refer to
fewer or more lines but try to keep it brief and focused).

THESIS STATEMENT: Brooker's argument in 'Wilderness of Mirrors: Perspectives on the
Twentieth Century' suggests that artists in the twentieth century, including T.S. Eliot,
sought to redefine the limits of their medium by evading traditional principles governing
their art forms
In T.S. Eliot's "The Waste Land," one of the poetic devices that stands out is allusion.
Allusion is the act of referencing a well-known person, place, event, or literary work within
a text. Through allusions, poets can add layers of meaning to their work, drawing on the
associations and emotions that the original source evokes. In "The Waste Land," Eliot
employs allusion extensively, weaving together a complex tapestry of references that
contribute to the poem's overarching themes of disillusionment, cultural decay, and the
search for meaning in a fragmented world.
One striking example of Eliot's use of allusion can be found in the opening lines of the
poem:
April is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.
Winter kept us warm, covering
Earth in forgetful snow, feeding
A little life with dried tubers.
