A sequel to my infographic on T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land, this weaving compiles all 433 lines of the poem, and the titles/subtitles, into an extended, complete piece — something that would be more difficult to achieve in book or poster form. The original text is absent here; instead, all one can see is the poem's abstracted form based on the classifications in the original infographic.
