I’ve added the full text of The Waste Land to my page on that poem. (internal link) Now you can read along as Sir Alec Guinness delivers a masterful recitation of this fine poem and all of its deliciously obscure references. It may be the best half-hour of your day.
I took the text from Project Gutenberg. (external link) You’ll note numbers along the way, inline with the text. These are footnotes to Eliot’s own commentary on the poem. I haven’t put those notes on my page, go to Gutenberg for them.
