Currants

The currants are a possible allusion to Walt Whitman's poem "These I Singing in Spring" from the Calamus section of his Leaves of Grass. Because this is not a commonly seen allusion and has a bearing on the commentator's uncommon interpretation of The Waste Land the discussion will continue on this line's commentary page.
