The Waste Land

Excerpt from The Waste Land by T. S. Eliot:

April is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.
Winter kept us warm, covering
Earth in forgetful snow, feeding
A little life with dried tubers.

History

I took the photograph on the morning of Monday, 18 April 2021 in the front yard of my home in Ely, Minnesota.
