Death at Water?

I didn't make class on Tuesday so I'm still as confused on The Wasteland as I was before. I was in class though when we divided up and talked about each of the sections.

My group talked Section 4, which was Death by Water. Which describes a man that had died on the water. The way that I understood it was that the man died while he was on the ocean during a storm. The section goes on to describe his body rising and falling on the waves. He has forgotten the sound of the gull's cry and the swell of the sea.

The poem continues to tell that death is no respecter of persons. The person can be a Gentile or Jew but it doesn't matter when it comes to death because the grim reaper doesn't respect any man.

P.S. I commented on Kaylie's Post
