In 1922, the annus mirabilis of European literature, T.S. Eliot published perhaps the most discussed poem of the 20th century: "The Waste Land." Takis Papatonis' "The Deserted Country," and George Seferis' "The Ravaged Land," Klytos Kyros.
Let it be said, as a memory of Dionysios Solomos, "The Deserted Land." Its technique resembles modernist montage at a time when cinema had not yet elevated the collage of images to art.
If James Joyce depicts the changes of a consciousness within a day ("Ulysses," 1922), or Paul Valéry in a night ("Young Fate," 1917), Eliot stitches in a notebook the great cracks and gaps of an aging continent over the last 2,000 years.
"One of the most important nineteen pages ever written in the English language," judged Ezra Pound.
