“I will show you something different from either
Your shadow at morning striding behind you
Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you;
I will show you fear in a handful of dust.”
TS Eliot’s “The Waste Land” can be regarded as a metaphor for the decline of “Western” civilisation. The poem was published in 1922, hence that civilisation has had a whole century to decay further, and indeed it has. It now appears to have entered its final, accelerated phase of decline. It is time for a brave remnant of souls to begin a new civilisational cycle, commencing with its own Age of Pioneers.
