126 The Ocean-Desert: The Ancient Mariner and. The Waste Land FLORENCE MARSH WHEN Coleridge’s The Ancient Mariner and T. S. Eliot’s The Waste Land are juxtaposed‚ the two poems become mutually illuminating. Nor is the juxtaposition arbitrary‚ since both are essentially religious poems concerned with salvation.

That culture is made visible in their arts‚ in their social system‚ in their habits and customs‚ in their religion.(Milner‚ A (1994) Contemporary Cultural Theory: An Introduction. London: UCC Press.)

Stability versus Change and Metamorphosis in T.S. Eliot ’s The Waste Land. When one reads The Waste Land for the first time‚ it may be difficult to extract some clear meanings out of the poem.
