Pakistan - A hard country is written for international audience. But you will be surprised how much you don't know about Pakistan and the sub continent and its societies.

Since you have studied eng. lit. and also THE WASTE LAND (which is my favorite poem), how did you interpret it's first line:-April is the cruellest month( because it has different interpretations and it's very confusing)

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...



JUST ASKING @Spring Onion

have to go back few years back but ok. yes indeed confusing precisely in my opinion for the reason that April is linked with feeling of hopelessness whereas other poets linked it with hope and also being spring time it is cherished.

if check the collection well you see more sad titles like

Burial of Dead
death by water

etc etc

Anyhow personally feel April being a month of both hope and bringing in past memories both cherished and somewhat sad stirs many imaginations among the poets and has been subject of their poetry work.

As T.S. Eliot termed it cruelest others are also not far behind for example Robert Frost thinks its a month that bounced between March and May again somewhat harsh months .


And Edna St. Vincent Millay call it stupid.

Thank you for your reply. But, I have a different interpretation. Waste landers( the modern day people) abhor work or want to bypass it. Since April is the month of the beginning of works or rejuvenation, this month is the most cruel to modern day people. They are lazy and do not want to work or get activated for work. So, lazy winter keeps them warm.
Thank you.

Thank you. That's what our teachers used to interpret it though the foreigners have interpreted it differently and also T.S Eliot

had his end notes for it defining different expression and their use BUT personally I believe that its somewhat a failure where you need to explain your own poetry work .

On the other hand Since April also means "opening, beginning or start" hence its wonderfully put cleverly started by T.S Eliot I mean this poem also started with same.

NOTE: Some foreigners also interpret it linking with heavy rains

If it's not too boring for you - start with small, collective short stories by Jeffrey Archer.if you like court case/murder mystery try John Grisham.and horror king - Stephen king is good.
