The Waste Land

Lines 308-310

Burning burning burning burning
O Lord Thou pluckest me out
O Lord Thou pluckest

Eliot's Note

309. From St. Augustine's Confessions again. The collocation of these two representatives of eastern and western ascetism, as the culmination of this part of the poem, is not an accident.

Context

Confessions by St. Augustine
