Art literature in the poem that includes the lines, this is the dead land, this is cactus land, to what work is the first epigraph an allusion?

Respuesta :

In the poem that includes the lines, this is the dead land, this is cactus land, the first epitaph is an allusion to Heart of Darkness, a novel written about Joseph Conrad.
The clue is when the poet says 
"Mistah Kurtz—he dead." because Kurtz is a character from Heart of Darkness.
