The Waste Land is my favorite poem and it is beautifully read by Paul Scofield. I don't know how many times I have listened to this book, and I just keep returning to it all the time. Non ultra plus!

Paul Schofield's reading of these two poems is nothing short of masterful. Even after years of reading and loving "The Four Quartets", I found my appreciation of the rhythm, language and structure growing. There is nothing better than listening to poetry read aloud by a master. I highly recommend this selection.

Exquisite!

Beautiful narration. The content however, was random and senseless. Listened twice to try to figure out what was actually being relayed. Some say Eliot was it poetic genius. I wonder if he was just a psychotic schizophrenic narcissistic arrogant maniac trying to frustrate the reader.

The narration was incredible.
