anyone know of any resources for TS Eliot's 'Wasteland'? like, maybe a line by line translation of what he's talking about.....i find his poetry mysterious and obtuse. thanks.....
There is stuff scattered around the web, eg:

There are also many books of literary criticism written aboiut Eliot's work.
Norton Critical Editions are one of many that have lengthy annotations:

(I personally like Norton editions)
This seems to be a central nodal site:
