'''Mapping "The Burial of the Dead" from "The Waste Land" by T.S. Eliot'''

“The Waste Land” is a very interesting, yet complicated poem written by T. S. Eliot. The poem can be split and looked at in many different ways. The two maps for “The Waste Land” are from the first section “Burial of the Dead”. The first map is a literal translation, mapping the poem from Austria to Germany, the four invasions of World War I and London to Italy. The second map is the more complicated translation. The second map translates the depths of the poem, for instance line 20: "Son of man, you cannot say, or guess for you know only a heap of broken images”. This line derives from Ezekiel 2:7. By comparing the maps they bring up many similarities between the two. The main topic of this poem seems to talk about the war. The lines all intertwine with each other.
