The Lightning - a review from T.S. Eliot's book
In T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land you perceive many images from the
writing style he uses. In lines 386 - 399 he writes:
In this decayed hole among the mountains
In the faint moonlight, the grass is singing
Over the tumbled graves, about the chapel
There is the empty chapel, only the wind's home.
It has no windows, and the door swings,
Dry bones can harm no one.
Only a cock stood on the rooftree
Co co rico co co rico
In a flash of lightning. Then …showed first 85 words of 503 total…

…showed last 85 words of 503 total…co rico," in line 393 may just be here to foreshadow
the upcoming weather. It has been said that certain animals can sense bad
weather, and as the rooster crows, dark clouds and lightning arrive, which
may show that death is near.
This part of the poem seems to display rebirth. Many images, from the
grave to the lightning, describe death as well as birth, possibly
foreshadowing birth and rebirth. T. S. Eliot's writing style is very esoteric,
having very hidden meanings in every single word.
