#The line of waste Land by ‘T.S. Eliot’,

  

  And when we were children, staying at the archduke’s,

       My cousin’s, he took me out on a sled, and I was frightened.

 He said, Marie, Marie, hold on tight. And down we went.

      In the mountains, there you feel free.

* Interpretation of Line,

This line presented that the Maria had a fear of the sledding over the mountain. During this time a man who is her cousin he hold her tight. Before she go down she feel fearless and fell free. We see in this line the sexual perversion.
