(original thread here. /ella)
This is special. I read it earlier a couple times and have had it in the back of my mind all day. But it will take some time for me to get my mind around it, after which I might hope to have some substantive comments.
For now, I wish to ask you: Is this not a poem that you feel needs to incorporate notes? If not, I would be interested to learn why you feel notes are not needed. It's not a cut and dry case, for sure. Eliot gave us no notes in his initial publication of The Waste Land (in his The Criterion). In subsequent publication in the US, he added notes, which have become an important part of the poem itself. Just interested in hearing your thoughts on the matter of notes.
Thanks.
Mahjong.
