I believe it was published in 1920. Charles Matthews 15:05, 25 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Last line in entry

[edit]

I believe the last lines of Col. Kurtz are in reference to Conrad's The Heart of Darkness ("The horror...the horror"). I am referring to the last line in the entry, "Kurtz quotes the end of The Waste Land before he is killed." believing this to be false.

The Apocalypse Now page has the movie Kurtz saying "The horror...the horror." This is what the book Kurtz has as his last words Heart of Darkness. I think The Waste Land got dragged into this because T. S. Eliot almost used "The horror...the horror" in the epigraph to his poem. WikiParker 22:29, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
