It's nice to have The Waste Land as accompaniment to the day (even after just one day). I think it will be interesting to see how it morphs and weaves into things as I make it a daily reflection, etc. I love the idea of memorizing Prufrock, but I think that's beyond me. Years ago, I read this piece in the Times ( https://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/05/books/review/Holt-t.html) and made it a point to memorize a couple of poems. Hope I can rejuvenate that project again someday.
I'd like to memorize Rilke’s First Elegy. Not sure my brain can handle it.
Thanks for reminding me it’s poetry month.
Nice project to read and reread The Wasteland! I have a friend who memorized Prufrock. So much music there in Eliot for those who listen.
